WTO Talks Chair Sees Some Progress
WTO agriculture talks’ chairperson Crawford Falconer says consultations on a range of issues have shown some progress, but not – closure. While assessing the situation at the end of the latest round of consultations, Falconer said he would consult non-agricultural market access chair Luzius Wasescha and WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy. Crawford said he would wait for the outcome of Mr. Lamy’s “Green Room” consultations held Sunday before deciding on what to do next. On Saturday, Director-General Lamy told a conference in Doha, Qatar that - aid for trade is important but the big prize lies in the success of the Doha Development round. He urged participants to send – a signal of urgency in delivering on trade and on aid.
Meanwhile, Mr. Falconer says, - what he writes in any revised “modalities” text will depend on what WTO members decide to do. If some ministers are heading for Geneva in December to try to agree on “modalities” then his draft would include some tentative positions and his guesses of where agreement might be reached.
