GATT which was replaced by WTO was :

  • A.An organisation
  • B.An agreement
  • C.A policy
  • D.A conference

Answer: B

GATT was an agreement.

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was signed in 1947 by 23 countries and came into force in 1948. It was a multilateral treaty, applied provisionally, setting rules to reduce tariffs and other barriers, and it held eight rounds of trade negotiations, ending with the Uruguay Round. It had only a small secretariat and was never a formal international organisation.

The Uruguay Round created the World Trade Organization, an organisation with legal personality, on 1 January 1995. GATT was not a policy or a conference; its rules survive within the WTO as GATT 1994.
