Pascal Lamy fait l'éloge des efforts réalisés par l'UE et les USA dans le domaine des négociations agricoles:
Pascal Lamy, speaking on French television, credited an EU offer announced Friday as "serious and worthy of a serious discussion" — and matched up fairly with recent U.S. proposals.
Lamy, who said Washington had also presented "interesting" proposals recently, said the EU offer carried the condition of making progress on other areas of trade.
The European body offered Friday to cut average agricultural tariffs by 46 percent, its steepest ever farm tariff cut — an offer EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson has called "Europe's bottom line."
Il reste à voir si l'intransigeance de la France ne risque pas de mettre ces promesses en péril...
