Atlantic Rendez-Vous
A ground-breaking programme of satellite-linked policy debates between Brussels and Washington DC
What share of the blame for the Doha Round’s collapse at Cancun should the EU and the United States accept? With approaching U.S. presidential elections and an incoming European Commission, what are the chances of saving the present WTO round? Would it be preferable to start afresh, and if so on what premise should the next round of multi-lateral trade negotiations be launched?
