World 
Trade Organisation (WTO) has outgrown its premises at its headquarters – the William Rappard Centre – at Geneva (in Switzerland), admitted Pascal Lamy, Director General, WTO. The WTO, in any case, has confirmed that it is looking for a bigger space for its headquarters, although it is tight-lipped as to whether this means a movement out of Geneva – or even Switzerland. One buzz in the air has been that WTO has been approached by Hong Kong and Singapore with proposals to shift its headquarters to those countries. This, of course, is an unsubstantiated piece of information and WTO officials have been loathe to comment on this matter. The William Rappard Centre was built on a site that was originally offered by the Swiss to the League of Nations after World War I. The Centre overlooks Lake Geneva and is situated close to the European headquarters of the United Nations.
