Индия и Индонезия заблокировали принятие проекта соглашения по ограничению рыболовных субсидий.
Как отметил председатель переговорной группы Гуннардссон:
The balancing measures so strongly requested by a couple of members would clearly unbalance the text for a large group of members.
At this point, it is not obvious to me how members might want to take the negotiations forward, and we need to reflect over what viable alternatives we have.
Гендиректор ВТО негодует.

В июне 2022 на МС12 члены ВТО поставили цель к концу 2024 года получить полностью функционирующую систему разрешения споров ВТО.
Договориться члены ВТО по реформе не смогли, а США уже 82 раза заблокировали назначение судей Апелляционного органа (что не позволяет полноценно функционировать и ныне существующей системе).
16-17 декабря Генсовет ВТО подвел итоги плодотворной работы:
DISPUTE SETTLEMENT REFORM PROCESS
Statement by H.E. Mr. Petter Ølberg, Chairperson of the General Council
The majority of Members have indicated that their interests are best-served by the key features of the current system without fundamental changes to them.
