FT.com / UK - Lamy warns of risk to Doha if climate talks fail

FT.com / UK - Lamy warns of risk to Doha if climate talks fail: "Speaking as trade ministers from 39 countries met in New Delhi to progress the WTO's Doha round, Mr Lamy cautioned against adopting trade measures to force changes in environmental behaviour.

'I sincerely hope that [agreement] will happen in Copenhagen. If it doesn't happen, our job at the WTO will become more difficult,' Mr Lamy told the Financial Times.

'Go-it-alone measures will not achieve the desired results. Relying on trade measures to fix global environmental problems will not work.'"
