Lamy asks for support on final stretch of negotiations

What can be achieved today is more balanced and at the same time more substantial than what was proposed four years ago — but it was necessary to go through those events. We have learnt quite a lot in the process, with the milestones of the July 2004 framework agreement, in Geneva, and the results of the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference in December 2005.
The suspension of the negotiations in July of last year imposed on us all a period of reflection which, is retrospect, was also important to safeguard the achievements of the past years.
And then, in January of this year, we were able to resume the negotiations in full mode. This shows that our Members are still confident in the potential of the Round. But it should be clear that some difficult trade-offs and technical work remains to be done in the near future.
