HTMLDoha's demise

04 August 2008This paper considers Tuesday's failure in world trade talks and outlines the three important sets of issues that have been raised by this latest collapse in negotiations.

"Sadly, it’s hardly a surprise that the Doha Round of trade talks has collapsed.

This would have allowed them to raise agricultural tariffs in response to sharp movements in prices or imports."
