    Here we go again. It’s a new year and a new opportunity for the World Trade Organisation to try and not achieve anything. They already started with their climate changing hot air. Telling us that it is now or never. That this time they will get a deal. One last push. Yep, the angry white men, or rather stupid white men, got together at Davos to tell the world that they will be meeting soon to get the Doha Round back on the road.

     

    Yeah, right. We’ve heard that one before. Let me remind you of what you really mean - “World trade talks in Cancun, Mexico collapse after four days of wrangling” (2003), ”…Lamy said that he now believed the Doha round could be completed by the end of 2005” (2004), ”…the ongoing failure to establish a new global trade deal has now hit a crisis situation” (2006), ”…attempts to resolve the Doha round of talks have failed” (2007). And this has been going on since 2001…
