Where do the Doha Round negotiations stand?

The Doha Round of trade negotiations are moving slowly (maybe too slowly) along the road to the Hong Kong ministerial meetings.

Frances Williams reports (for the Financial Times) that"Doha global trade round 'close to crisis'" (April 29).

Peter Gallagher draws on what he learned during recent visits to Washington, Brussels, and Geneva, to survey the status of the negotiations, and speculate about their prospects:"Doha doldrums" (April 30).
