WTO talks collapse over food tariffs
Ministers from about 35 countries have failed to make a breakthrough in the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) Doha round to open up global trade. Talkd to broker a new global trade pact have collapsed because key powers are unable to bridge their differences on food tariffs, the head of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) says. "There is no use beating around the bush, this meeting has collapsed, members have simply not been able to bridge their differences," WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy said.
