Brussels, 15/02/2008 (Agence Europe) - A large majority of EU member states are likely to use the General Affairs-External Relations and Agriculture-Fisheries Councils in Brussels on Monday 18 February to express their disappointment over the revised compromises in agriculture and on NAMA brought forward by the WTO mediators on these two issues, Crawford Falconer and Don Stephenson (see 9599 and 9600). At a meeting of the 133 Committee, on Friday 15 February, most member states expressed their deep concern on agriculture and criticised the imbalances in the compromise text on NAMA, and also on the “status report” on services by WTO mediator Fernando de Mateo (see EUROPE 9601). In a press release published on Friday 15 February, the Commission is also critical of the imbalance in the texts between agricultural products and industrial goods and the incompleteness on services.
