Sarkozy threatens use of veto at WTO

FRENCH president Nicolas Sarkozy has warned that his country will use its veto in negotiations at the World Trade Organisation, if its farming interests are threatened.

President Sarkozy was speaking during a meeting with farmers in the Seine-Maritime region in northern France.

“I am not inclined to swap farming against services as part of WTO negotiations,” the new French president said, stressing that, if there is an effort at the WTO negotiations everyone should make it.
