SUBJECT: WTO DOHA ROUND : AFTER GENEVA, FRENCH AGRICULTURAL OFFICERS 
CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC 
 
SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED. NOT FOR INTERNET 
 
1. (SBU) In recent meetings with Agricultural Minister-Counselor, 
French Ministry of Agriculture officials stressed that they still 
expect a positive outcome of the Doha round of trade negotiations, 
despite the recent meeting in Geneva. In fact, they acknowledged 
that they are now more optimistic than before the meeting. They 
highlighted positive movement from Brazil but emphasized that they 
still expect more movement from other G20 countries. Trade Minister 
Lagarde and staff are not expressing similar optimism. 
 
2. (SBU) France believes that a positive outcome could result from 
Pascal Lamy's active diplomacy. However, French officials fear that 
Pascal Lamy's triangular (Market Access / Domestic Support / NAMA) 
approach may be too simplistic as it excludes important issues such 
as Geographic Indications (GI)and other export support such as food 
aid. They also pointed out that Lamy does not have a mandate from 
the WTO to propose a deal in a similar way to the Dunkel proposal of 
1993-94. French officials were aware of meetings in Russia prior to 
the G8 summit but do not expect any definite outcome from them. 
 
3. (SBU) French agricultural officials who attended the Geneva 
meeting felt that Brazil was ready to propose something but that the 
United States was reluctant to move forward on domestic support. 
They mentioned that they were aware of the U.S. political agenda 
with upcoming mid-term elections. They also stressed that the 
Commission has already reached the limit of its negotiating mandate 
and that Commissioner Mandelsohn should not -quote- cross the red 
line -end quote-. French officials reiterated that France would be 
ready to veto an agreement which does not address NAMA issues. 
France also has strong support from other EU countries (such as 
Italy, Germany and Spain) on GI issues. In fact, French officials 
stated that including GI issues should be a pre-requisite for any 
agreement. 
 
4. (SBU) France is not opposed to (but does notspecifically request) 
a peace clause but understands U.S. concerns on this issue (they 
deem the EU to be less vulnerable than the U.S. on domestic support 
due to decoupling under CAP reform.) French officials agreed that 
good faith would be needed after an agreement is reached and would 
support the United States in its demand for a peace clause. 
 
5. (SBU)  French agricultural  officials' comments contrast with a 
more pessimistic view voiced by Trade Minister Christine Lagarde and 
advisors in discussions with Ambassador and Economic 
Minister-Counselor over the past few days.  In several private 
comments on the margins of a weekend economic conference, Lagarde 
expressed concern over WTO Director General Pascal Lamy's recent 
assertion of the need to "crack heads together", noting that that 
large differences that still exist, especially between the 
industrialized West and the G20, require expert mediation, not head 
cracking.  A Lagarde technical advisor told ECMIN July 10 that 
France's agriculture "red lines", U.S. reluctance to move 
sufficiently on domestic agricultural supports, and continued 
inadequate offers from the G20 on NAMA and services did not auger 
well for agreement in the short time that remains. 
 
6.  (SBU)  COMMENT.  The GOF remains engaged with Brussels on the EU 
negotiating position.  (Lagarde was scheduled to meet in Brussels 
with EU Trade Commissioner Mandelsohn on July 11.)  However, 
France's tough stance on agriculture remains an important obstacle. 
We suspect that the upbeat assessment of French agricultural 
officials may reflect their view that no WTO agreement is just as 
acceptable politically as a positive WTO outcome.  END COMMENT.
