Australian PM blames Europe over WTO talks - by Shane Wright

PRIME Minister John Howard today blamed Europe for the near collapse of world trade talks, saying it had to go further to slash farm protection levels. Mr Howard, who may be dragged into the World Trade Organisation (WTO) talks directly, said it was European intransigence on agricultural protection that was putting the negotiations at risk.

The leaders of the G6 grouping - Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, European Union (EU) and the United States - may have to involve their leaders in a summit to break the deadlock on the trade talks.
