EU issues warning on Doha agenda
The EU has issued a warning that trade talks on agriculture are at risk due to the refusal of developing countries to agree to discuss environmental links. The Financial Times reports that Peter Carl, head of the EU's trade directorate, described the trade and environment link as a "deal breaker" in the context of the Doha negotiations. His comment was made in the wake of the draft agenda for Doha that was published last week without any mention of the trade and environment issue.
