05/09/2005 (Agence Europe) - The British Prime Minister and President-in-Office of the European Council, Tony Blair, urged on Monday in favour of putting an end to farm export subsidies by 2010. The lack of progress on this issue in the multilateral trade talks at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) could make the whole of the Doha round of talks stall, said an article in The Financial Times on Monday. “Following the G8 commitment at Gleneagles to set a credible date for the end of agricultural export subsidies, it should be possible at Hong Kong to set a deadline of 2010”, Blair said. “Clearly there is an enormous amount at stake in Hong Kong. Failure to make progress could even be fatal for the trade round”, he said.
