WTO to approve Lamy for top job
BBC NEWS | "Pascal Lamy will be officially appointed as the next head of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on Thursday.
The European Union's former trade commissioner emerged as the clear favourite for the role this month when his main rival withdrew from the race.
Mr Lamy, who will assume the top post at the 148 member organisation in September, faces major challenges.
He must handle an escalating trade row between China and the United States and try to secure a new free trade round."
