Question 1a
Examiners Report
Part (a) asked candidates to discuss the role of the WTO and the impact on the country of reducing protectionist measures.
Most candidates performed well in this part and some very good answers were given especially for the discussion of benefits and drawbacks relating to the reduction in protectionist measures.
The discussion of the role of the WTO was done less well, with some answers suggesting that it raised financial capital and provided financial help to countries and to companies, which is not correct.
