The participation on the MTS and in the process of commercial liberation by the LDC and the DC, and the glaring inequalities (economical, financial and technological) between them and the developed countries, made necessary to take measures from the law, wich allows the insertion of the LDC and DC into the MTS, measures known as SDT. The SDT has been degenerated just in a adjust instrument and has lost the vocation of being a mechanism to create equality conditions, to become in the adaptation way of the underdeveloped economies to the free trade demands. To counteract this phenomenon in the Doha Ministerial Declaration, dispositions were adopted to revitalize the SDT; however, such measures stays as formal considerations, forgetting that the commercial liberation should not be an end, but a way to the economic development.
