The con sessions

"France has repeatedly called on the United States and developing countries to make more concessions in order to salvage the Doha round of world trade talks, calling for more 'reciprocity' from other parties.

"The European Union has no more concessions to make -- it has made many. If we are one reform ahead, the Americans are one behind. I do not think that the new agricultural law in the United States can make up for that," Barnier told the French newspaper La Tribune." (Thanks Rania)
