WTO trade talks slanted against poor nations: Brazil

---

GENEVA, Nov 1 (Reuters): The long-running Doha round of trade talks cannot succeed unless developing countries get a fair deal reflecting their needs, Brazil's Foreign Minister Celso Amorim said yesterday.
Amorim told a news conference that the talks were still slanted too much in favour of rich countries.
"I can't come to a place in which everyone's sensitivity is taken into account and my own sensitivity is not taken into account," he said. "That's not fair and one thing that we'll be demanding is fairness."
The Doha round has made faltering progress on the complex and technical rules governing world trade. But the key outlines of any deal are clear.
The United States would cut its trade-distorting farm subsidies and the European Union would cut its farm tariffs, both creating more opportunities for developing countries on the global market for agricultural produce.
In return developing nations would cut tariffs on industrial goods to open their markets to companies from rich countries.
