In a written statement from the White House, Obama said the deal hammered out by the WTO in Indonesia marked "the rejuvenation of the multilateral trading system that supports millions of American jobs and offers a forum for the robust enforcement of America's trade rights. " "This new deal, and particularly the new trade facilitation agreement, will eliminate red tape and bureaucratic delay for goods shipped around the globe," Obama said. Small businesses will be among the biggest winners, since they encounter the greatest difficulties in navigating the current system. The WTO said in a written statement the so-called Bali Package could provide some needed momentum to the stalled negotiations on the broader Doha pact.  "The decisions we have taken here are an important stepping stone towards the completion of the Doha round," Director-General Roberto Azevedo told the Bali delegates Saturday. And it is very welcome that you have instructed us to prepare, within the next 12 months, a clearly defined work program to this end.
