New Delhi \u2013 Brazil and India should reach, in up to three weeks, a common position with regard to the most important themes covered in the Doha Rounds, for liberalisation of world trade. According to the minister of Foreign Relations of Brazil, Celso Amorim, president Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva and Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh created, in New Delhi, a work program to discuss the common points between both countries, which may lead to the conclusion to the Rounds.<\/p>\n
"There is political desire of both sides to conclude [the Rounds] and we are going to discuss these themes," stated Amorim, adding that Brazil and India also created a commission to monitor trade relations among the countries, which should allow for evaluation of specific problems that may arise.<\/p>\n
In the last meeting regarding the Doha Rounds of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), in July, Brazil and India disagreed in some points. Brazil accepted the terms negotiated in the agreement, but India blocked negotiations on demanding the expansion of the use of safeguards, to defend itself against a surge in imports.<\/p>\n
Last month, India filed a complaint at the WTO, suggesting that Brazil had made an agreement for the opening of the Brazilian ethanol market, in exchange for approval of the rounds in those terms. After the misunderstanding, both countries returned to talks and reached an understanding.<\/p>\n
