WTO: Chances Of An Easter Breakthrough?
Well there has been no breakthrough at Davos but Trade Ministers who met there over the weekend are still talking of the possibility of an outcome in 2008. To achieve this they will need some kind of big progress, and it seems that a meeting around Easter is being planned to achieve this. Lets hope this comes to pass. If Phil Goff can help pull this off, as well as the China deal, the involvement of the US in the Trans Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership, and maybe the FTA with The GCC, he will indeed be well placed to become New Zealander of the Year (and maybe Labour Party leader also??).
