Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Tenth Ministerial Conference (MC10) in Nairobi (2015) resulted in the 'Nairobi Package', which included several key decisions for developing and least-developed countries (LDCs). Statement 1 is incorrect because the package specifically included a Ministerial Decision on a Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM) for developing country members, allowing them to temporarily raise tariffs to counter import surges or price falls. Statement 2 is correct as the package adopted preferential rules of origin for LDCs, building on the Bali Decision to facilitate easier market access for LDC exports [1]. Statement 3 is correct because it reaffirmed the commitment to public stockholding for food security purposes, maintaining the 'peace clause' established in Bali while seeking a permanent solution. Therefore, only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
