Doha in Davos
Guy de Jonquieres reports (in today's Financial Times) from Davos on a meeting yesterday by representatives of about 20 World Trade Organization members. The meeting was held in conjunction with the World Economic Forum underway in Davos, and discussed how to get the Doha Round of trade liberalization talks underway again.
While the participants "pledged ... to try and reinvigorate the talks...", and "...several participants indicated they were willing to be more flexibile on agriculture and other central issues... the meeting failed to chart a clear way ahead and fought shy of setting any deadlines for agreement." Here: "Abundant good intentions on global trade talks".
