Published Thursday, July 24, 2008 at 04:45 AM

Citing modest and uneven progress - World Trade Organization Director-General Pascal Lamy told trade ministers in Geneva Wednesday that smaller groups of delegations would discuss a series of agriculture and industrial products topics. The participants in the small groups - he explained - would vary by subject and involve agriculture negotiations chairperson Crawford Falconer, non-agricultural market access talks chairperson Don Stephenson and General Council chair Bruce Gosper. Lamy described the arrangements as variable geometry. Additionally - the services signaling conference has been pushed back to Friday. As a result - WTO spokesperson Keith Rockwell told reporters not to hold their breath for revised agriculture and industrial products texts on Friday.
