WTO urges businesses to pressure governments

THE deputy director general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) has called on European businesses to put pressure on their governments to proceed with the next round of negotiations.

Specifically, Mr Roderick Abbott referred to the contentious talks on the future of agriculture and the push for less subsidies and greater free trade.

“If governments are playing tactical games and not getting on with things business people must tell them it isn’t good for business.”
