Herminio Alonso Blanco Mendoza (born July 25, 1950 in Chihuahua) is a Mexican economist. Herminio Blanco has 27 years of experience in international trade. As Mexico’s Minister of Trade and Industry, NAFTA Chief Negotiator and Vice Minister of International Negotiations, he played a role in the design and implementation of recent structural changes to Mexico's economy. He directed the team that made Mexico the country with more free trade agreements in the world (34 countries at that time). The current administration under Enrique Peña Nieto that brought the institutional revolutionary party (PRI) back to power in 2012 began active promotion of Blanco's candidacy to head the World Trade Organization during the Davos economic forum in 2013. Many political analysts in Mexico believe that this promotion is a continuation or a proxy of former President Salinas de Gortari's failed candidacy to lead such organization, after significant controversy in connection with the end of President Salina's administration. Mr. Blanco is a close friend and collaborator of President Salinas. The following are some of the main achievements of his 15 years of service in the Mexican Government (1985 2000):
As Chief Trade Negotiator, he led Mexico’s participation in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations and the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO). He was the Head of the team that, at that time, made Mexico the country with the largest number of free trade agreements in the world (32 countries). He was responsible for the Mexican government’s lobbying efforts for the approval of NAFTA in the US Congress
Implemented many of the promotion efforts that contributed to the tripling of foreign direct investment in Mexico. Designed and implemented a far reaching reform program to eliminate red tape, enhance efficiency and increase transparency in Mexico’s public sector. Implemented a managerial re engineering of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, which was recognized by the ISO9000 certification and the Government of Mexico Quality Award. Designed and implemented numerous programs to improve the competitiveness of small and medium size enterprises (SME’s), including the establishment of a consulting corporation with more than fifty offices in Mexico. In his 12 years of experience in the private sector (2001 2012), Herminio Blanco has advised national and local governments, corporations and international organizations on trade policy and international economic strategic matters. Herminio Blanco is founder and President of the Board of IQOM Inteligencia Comercial, the only international trade service in Mexico and Latin America that provides an online day by day analysis of governmental trade measures affecting corporations doing business in the region. IQOM has helped the Mexican government in the implementation of special software applications to promote the participation of small and medium enterprises in international trade. He is a member of several boards, including BLADEX, the Latin American Trade Bank whose mission is to finance international trade in Latin America. Candidate to the post of World Trade Organization Director General
At a meeting of the 157 member countries of the General Council of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and observer countries today, Herminio Blanco Mendoza presented his candidacy for the post of WTO Director General. Dr. Blanco explained his short , medium and long term proposals, stressing that development would play a key role in each time period. Short term horizon: The ninth Ministerial Conference to be held in December 2013 in Bali, Indonesia, must be a success, with concrete results on substantive issues. Medium term horizon: The Members should address the outstanding issues of the Doha Round and make the various WTO bodies more efficient in meeting their objectives. Long term horizon: The solutions offered by regional trade agreements to the new realities and measures affecting trade in goods and services must become part of the multilateral trading system. Dr. Blanco said that the WTO has succeeded in promoting trade as a dynamic engine of economic growth and development in its member countries, and has helped alleviate protectionist pressures arising from the global financial crisis. He also said that, although the Doha Round has not made progress, the WTO must be rescued from the risk of becoming irrelevant. Professional Experience

Эрминьо Алонсо Бланко Мендоса (родился 25 июля 1950 года в Чиуауа) – мексиканский экономист. Эрминьо Бланко имеет 27-летний опыт работы в сфере международной торговли. В качестве министра торговли и промышленности Мексики, главного переговорщика по соглашению НАФТА и заместителя министра по международным переговорам, он сыграл важную роль в разработке и реализации последних структурных изменений в экономике Мексики. Он возглавлял команду, которая сделала Мексику страной с наибольшим количеством соглашений о свободной торговле в мире (на тот момент – 34 страны). Действующая администрация во главе с Энрике Пенья Ньето, вернувшая к власти Институционально-революционную партию (ПРИ) в 2012 году, начала активно продвигать кандидатуру Бланко на пост Генерального директора Всемирной торговой организации во время экономического форума в Давосе в 2013 году. Многие политические аналитики в Мексике полагают, что это продвижение является продолжением или заменой неудачной кандидатуры бывшего президента Салинаса де Гортари на эту должность, последовавшей за значительными спорами в связи с завершением президентства Салины. Господин Бланко – близкий друг и соратник президента Салинаса. Ниже приведены некоторые из основных достижений его 15-летней службы в правительстве Мексики (1985–2000 гг.):

На встрече 157 стран-членов Генерального совета Всемирной торговой организации (ВТО) и стран-наблюдателей сегодня Эрминьо Бланко Мендоса представил свою кандидатуру на пост Генерального директора ВТО. Доктор Бланко изложил свои краткосрочные, среднесрочные и долгосрочные предложения, подчеркнув, что развитие будет играть ключевую роль в каждый период времени. Краткосрочный горизонт: Девятая Конференция министров, которая состоится в декабре 2013 года на Бали (Индонезия), должна быть успешной и принести конкретные результаты по существенным вопросам. Среднесрочный горизонт: Члены организации должны решить нерешенные вопросы Дохийского раунда и повысить эффективность работы различных органов ВТО в достижении их целей. Долгосрочный горизонт: решения, предлагаемые региональными торговыми соглашениями для новых реалий и мер, влияющих на торговлю товарами и услугами, должны стать частью многосторонней торговой системы. Доктор Бланко заявил, что ВТО успешно продвигает торговлю как динамичный двигатель экономического роста и развития в странах-членах и помогла ослабить протекционистское давление, возникшее в результате глобального финансового кризиса. Он также отметил, что, хотя Дохийский раунд не достиг прогресса, ВТО необходимо спасти от риска стать неактуальной. Опыт работы

Herminio Alonso Blanco Mendoza (born July 25, 1950 in Chihuahua) is a Mexican economist. Herminio Blanco has 27 years of experience in international trade. As Mexico’s Minister of Trade and Industry, NAFTA Chief Negotiator and Vice Minister of International Negotiations, he played a role in the design and implementation of recent structural changes to Mexico's economy. He directed the team that made Mexico the country with more free trade agreements in the world (34 countries at that time). The current administration under Enrique Peña Nieto that brought the institutional revolutionary party (PRI) back to power in 2012 began active promotion of Blanco's candidacy to head the World Trade Organization during the Davos economic forum in 2013. Many political analysts in Mexico believe that this promotion is a continuation or a proxy of former President Salinas de Gortari's failed candidacy to lead such organization, after significant controversy in connection with the end of President Salina's administration. Mr. Blanco is a close friend and collaborator of President Salinas. The following are some of the main achievements of his 15 years of service in the Mexican Government (1985 2000):
As Chief Trade Negotiator, he led Mexico’s participation in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations and the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO). He was the Head of the team that, at that time, made Mexico the country with the largest number of free trade agreements in the world (32 countries). He was responsible for the Mexican government’s lobbying efforts for the approval of NAFTA in the US Congress
Implemented many of the promotion efforts that contributed to the tripling of foreign direct investment in Mexico. Designed and implemented a far reaching reform program to eliminate red tape, enhance efficiency and increase transparency in Mexico’s public sector. Implemented a managerial re engineering of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, which was recognized by the ISO9000 certification and the Government of Mexico Quality Award. Designed and implemented numerous programs to improve the competitiveness of small and medium size enterprises (SME’s), including the establishment of a consulting corporation with more than fifty offices in Mexico. In his 12 years of experience in the private sector (2001 2012), Herminio Blanco has advised national and local governments, corporations and international organizations on trade policy and international economic strategic matters. Herminio Blanco is founder and President of the Board of IQOM Inteligencia Comercial, the only international trade service in Mexico and Latin America that provides an online day by day analysis of governmental trade measures affecting corporations doing business in the region. IQOM has helped the Mexican government in the implementation of special software applications to promote the participation of small and medium enterprises in international trade. He is a member of several boards, including BLADEX, the Latin American Trade Bank whose mission is to finance international trade in Latin America. Candidate to the post of World Trade Organization Director General
At a meeting of the 157 member countries of the General Council of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and observer countries today, Herminio Blanco Mendoza presented his candidacy for the post of WTO Director General. Dr. Blanco explained his short , medium and long term proposals, stressing that development would play a key role in each time period. Short term horizon: The ninth Ministerial Conference to be held in December 2013 in Bali, Indonesia, must be a success, with concrete results on substantive issues. Medium term horizon: The Members should address the outstanding issues of the Doha Round and make the various WTO bodies more efficient in meeting their objectives. Long term horizon: The solutions offered by regional trade agreements to the new realities and measures affecting trade in goods and services must become part of the multilateral trading system. Dr. Blanco said that the WTO has succeeded in promoting trade as a dynamic engine of economic growth and development in its member countries, and has helped alleviate protectionist pressures arising from the global financial crisis. He also said that, although the Doha Round has not made progress, the WTO must be rescued from the risk of becoming irrelevant. Professional Experience
