Brussels, 14/11/2005 (Agence Europe) - European Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson and Brazil's foreign minister Celso Amorim are each blaming the other for the deadlock in the world trade negotiations under the World Trade Organisation's Doha Round following failure in Rome on Saturday to reach agreement. At a joint press conference after the talks, Peter Mandelson said there had been progress in their exchange of views but no major breakthrough. In an interview with BBC4 on Friday, the EU's Trade Commissioner expressed scepticism about the outcome of the Hong Kong world trade negotiations in December this year, saying agreement would not be reached there. He blamed Brazil (chief negotiator for the G20 group of emerging economies), Australia and New Zealand, leading farm exporters among the Cairns Group, and the United States for this - accusing them of systematically rejecting the European Union's farm proposals.
