WTO members may reconvene to save Doha rnd

 "I hope that there is another meeting by the end of this month," Commerce Minister Kamal Nath said on his return this morning from the WTO mini-ministerial meeting in Geneva.

 However, with the collapse of talks at Geneva, the target of December 2006 for completion of Doha round looks more difficult, he said.

 All the major players have talked of the need for a breakthrough by end of July to complete Doha round by December as special powers to US administration to negotiate trade expired by end of 2006 and is unlikely to be extended.
