World Trade

Question
: If he will make a statement on the progress made at the recent London meeting on the World Trade Organisation Doha round.
Answer

At the meetings in London between 10 and 12 March, negotiators from the EU, US, India, Brazil, Australia and Japan engaged positively on the substance of the Doha development agenda, but failed to make a breakthrough in the talks. The Government remain committed to seeing an ambitious, pro-development outcome to the DDA by the end of the year and will do their utmost to bring that about.
