WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration's top trade negotiator said Friday the European Union must make a better offer to lower barriers protecting European farmers.
"Unless the EU steps forward on agriculture, India, Brazil and other emerging market countries will not step forward," U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman said during an interview.
Ideally, he said, the EU would improve its offer on lowering tariffs and other barriers in farm trade while developing countries would make bolder offers in cutting barriers to manufactured goods and services, such as banking.
