Simply demanding more in agriculture...does not add up to a serious negotiation,

There couldn't be any less negotiation.

We are strongly committed to bringing everything together for Hong Kong, including for agriculture,

negotiation and agreement, and not confrontation.

There is progress in agriculture, even though we are still looking for further commitments from others. However, this progress is not matched in industrial goods or services. This lack of balance is a real problem and points to the ground we need to make up at Hong Kong.

I do not believe it will be helpful to the (WTO) talks to make a further offer on agriculture, because this would simply further unbalance the negotiations,
