The World Trade Organization (wto) Doha Round of trade negotiations stood at a critical juncture as negotiations entered the seventh year in 2008, when they were scheduled to conclude. The focus was on establishing full modalities for reducing commitments in agriculture and non-agricultural market access. In July, an informal wto “mini-ministerial” meeting, convened to establish modalities on agriculture and non-agricultural market access, failed to achieve a breakthrough to set the basis for concluding the Doha Round in 2008.
