World Trade Organization - Chair offers slight chance of update to latest farm talks text

CHAIR OFFERS SLIGHT CHANCE OF UPDATE TO LATEST FARM TALKS TEXT
Further modifications to the latest agriculture draft text, in the form of corrections, are possible before a representative group of ministers start talks on 21 July, but only if members make more progress in small-group consultations, farm talks chairperson Crawford Falconer said today. He was speaking in the first meeting of the full membership since the agriculture draft was circulated a week ago.
