WTO may meet in July

The General Council of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is likely to meet in the third week of July to consider the framework on agriculture.

The three-day meet may also turn into a kind of a 'mini-ministerial' with key trade ministers, including those from India, Brazil, the US and EU, expected to participate.

The framework is expected to be readied by June, which will be a skeletal arrangement carved out from the drafts that were earlier presented by US-EU and the G20.
