摘要

From hope to acrimony; from acrimony to apathy; and now back towards hope again: the Doha round of world trade talks has almost come full circle. Launching the round in Qatar's capital city in November 2001, as the world reeled from terrorist outrages and the dotcom bust, trade ministers declared their determination to liberalise trade so that "the system plays its full part in promoting recovery, growth and development." By 2003 the hope had gone: a ministerial meeting in Cancun, a Mexican resort, broke up early amid angry recriminations. Two years ago progress was so feeble that Pascal Lamy, director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), suspended negotiations.rnMany wrote the round off at that point. Yet for the past year or so trade negotiators in Geneva have been chiselling away at the areas of disagreement. They have sculpted enough, Mr Lamy believes, for him to gather a group of around 40 ministers at the WTO's lakeside headquarters to try to shape a deal. Their deliberations, which are due to last a week, begin on July 21st. Success would mean that a conclusion to the round the world forgot could at last be contemplated. At the core of an agreement would be cuts in allowable subsidies to farmers and lower tariff ceilings for both agricultural and industrial goods.
