Four principles of Trade are as follows: (i) A trade agreement should be assessed in terms of its impact on development, (ii) An agreement should be fair, (iii) An agreement should be fairly arrived at, (iv) Any agreement should retain for each country as wide a scope for the exercise of its national sovereignty, so long as it does not adversely impact others, and in particular, the trade of others.
