WTO officials 'making progress' in world trade talks
Top trade officials from the US, Europe, Brazil and India said they were making progress as they began a second day of meetings today aimed at reviving negotiations on a new global trade treaty.
The World Trade Organisation’s Doha round of negotiations, named after the capital of Qatar where they began in 2001, have been stalled since last July over rich nations’ refusal to slash farm subsidies and poor countries’ reluctance to grant greater access to their markets.
