EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson Visits Washington

Following a series of high-level meetings in Washington this week, EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson made the following statement:

"I have been in Washington, DC, for quiet exploratory discussions with the Administration on the Hill and with other influential players in Trade. We face a tough challenge to bring the Doha Round to a successful timely conclusion. I believe that the Administration is committed to this, and so am I.

"I hope that this visit will give us renewed energy to work together to get it done, by showing flexibility ourselves and persuading others to do likewise."
