WTO: Ministerial Meeting In April Now Possible?

There are conflicting assessments out there on the wire, but this one from Reuters suggests that the way may be coming clear for the convening of a WTO Ministerial meeting in mid-April. It seems new texts on agriculture and non-agricultural market access might come out next week. Reactions to these revisions will determine the chances of a positive outcome for a Ministerial. The WTO cannot afford another failed Ministerial meeting.
