After galvanizing the Group of 90 developing countries to remain united, Union Commerce Minister Kamal Nath, on Friday, told the World Trade Organisation Chief Pascal Lamy that New Delhi would judge the draft compromise texts to be presented by chairs of Doha farm and industrials negotiations on the basis of the “developmental content” as mandated in the Doha Development Agenda.
“India would not like to advise what the draft texts must contain but we would like to ensure that compromise drafts are in line with Doha Development Agenda, the July 2004 framework agreement and Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration,” he told Deccan Herald.  “The two chairs would have to deliver on the “developmental” underpinnings of the Round,” he told said.
“We should not fix any artificial deadlines and allow the Chairs to come up with their texts,” he told over 70 trade envoys of ACP (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific) Group, cautioning that the texts must be “balanced” in addressing core elements of three Doha mandates, failing which they would further “endanger” the negotiating process.
On failed G-4 trade ministerial meeting in Potsdam Mr Kamal Nath said the United States and the European Union had already decided the outcome, even before we reached it.”
