英语文摘：Lamy says Doha Round not in "final game" yet

He called on every WTO member to "do its duty" to try to close the remaining gaps "in the tough months ahead."

Asked by reporters whether the 2010 target of concluding the Round set by G20 leaders is still doable, Lamy said it was " technically feasible." But he added that "it wasn't a technical orientation. It was a political orientation."

The Doha Round, launched in the Qatari capital in 2001 with a mandate to help poor countries prosper through more trade, has missed quite a few deadlines for conclusion because of sharp differences among major WTO members in the fields of agricultural trade and industrial market access.

Technical discussions have continued since July 2008, when a mini-ministerial meeting failed to make any breakthrough, but till now no substantial progress has been made.
