ICSA calls for scrapping of WTO talks

Irish Cattle and Sheepfarmers’ Association (ICSA) president Malcolm Thompson has today called for the Doha round of World Trade Organisation (WTO) talks to be scrapped completely, calling it "obsolete and no longer relevant to the current global situation".

"This round of WTO talks was structured seven years ago, when the world was a different place, but in the last 18 months the global food security situation has changed beyond recognition," he said.
