Sorry bk, only saw this just now, I have emailed blair anyway. I wish I'd seen your post earlier...

BK, yep, I did! Woke up this morning to find the talks had failed. (The EU and US insisted on the developing countries accept an international investment proposal to compromise at all on agricultural subsidies.)

I did read a comment that no deal was better than a bad deal for the developing countries. Sigh.... too bad there was no good deal to be had.
