U.S.-EU row threatens trade talks
Article Abstract:
The Doha Round talks, trade negotiations centered on the economic issues of developing and wealthy nations are being held in Brussels. A dispute that has arisen between the United States and Europe over farm trade is throwing the negotiations off-track. Both of the Western nations agree that farm trade barriers must be reduced for developing countries, however they, so far, cannot agree on how this can be done.
