It seems pretty bleak around the WTO membership as we wake up this morning.
Another deadline for new texts has been broken. India stays apart from the package solution and now China seems even more firmly at their side.
Lets hope the key players had a very good sleep and that they have woken up with new ideas - otherwise these talks could die today.
We think that the US and EU should show true leadership and accept the Chinese and Indian positions - lets see what happens then. Will India and China find new issues on which to disagree? Or are the issues in dispute genuine "red lines"?
We are concerned about the extent that personalities have come to dominate these negotiations - both at officials level and at Ministerial level. Next time around it will be important to ensure, somehow that the negotiations are de-personalized.
