Statement on WTO Doha Round negotiations

by Ed Roberts

Mr. Kamal Nath, Indian Commerce and Industry minister, met with the European Union (EU) Trade Commissioner, Mr. Peter Mandelson, in London on Tuesday to discuss various matters including the successful conclusion of the WTO Doha Round.

After their meeting, the two leaders issued a joint statement regarding the Doha Round of negotiations.

The statement says:

“India and the EU are committed to the success of the forthcoming WTO Ministerial meeting.

A successful outcome of the Doha Round, balanced across the full range of market access issues in agriculture, industrial goods and services is essential to secure growth in trade and boost the global economy.

Such an outcome would also further integrate developing countries into the world economy while fully reflecting the developmental objectives of the Round, including sensitivities in agriculture.

We are determined to ensure in particular that ministerial engagement on services is substantial and leads to strong future offers.

We also remain firmly committed to taking forward issues relating to geographical indications and biodiversity.”
