BRUSSELS, Dec 14 (Xinhua): The European Union (EU) expressed regret late Friday at lack of progress in the Doha round of global trade talks after World Trade Organisation (WTO) chief Pascal Lamy decided not to convene a ministerial meeting by the end of the year.
"We have come tantalisingly close to the finish line with an outline agreement that would have been good for everyone and a major boost for the world economy," EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton said in a statement.
