and Seminar information The meeting included an address
by the Chair of the Cairns Group and Australian Minister for Trade, The Hon
Mark Vaile.
"Cairns Group farm leaders have a key role to
play in reminding all concerned of the real issue at stake here -defending
efficient, unsubsidised farmers whose livelihood is undermined by the
protectionist practices of a few rich countries"
Cairns Group Farm Leaders Statement to Ministers [ english | espanól ]
"We
are gathered here today in Cancun, Mexico, because the Doha Round of
negotiations is the 'opportunity of the century' for governments to stop
the on-going problem of support and protectionism. Cairns Group Farm
Leaders' believe that there can be no Doha Round outcome without a
comprehensive agreement on agriculture"
At
the Cancun meeting, Cairns Group Farm Leaders and the USFB issued a joint statement to Ministers and held a press conference. [Press Statement]
