INSTANT VIEW - WTO talks collapse amid farm stand-off
GENEVA (Reuters) - Marathon talks on a new wave of trade liberalisation collapsed on Tuesday after nine days of intense but ultimately fruitless negotiations.
Following are some reactions, with latest at top:
ADRIAN VAN DEN HOVEN, TRADE DIRECTOR AT EUROPE'S MAIN EMPLOYERS' GROUP, BUSINESSEUROPE
"Obviously, we are disappointed that the talks came this far only to break down.
"We are not sure what is going to happen next in terms of WTO. We don't want to sound alarmist, because we have seen this kind of crush in the past.
"Considering how close the talks were to reaching an agreement, it would be foolish to let everything fall apart."
