Talks on global free-trade deal collapse in Geneva
GENEVA, Nov 27: Negotiators came close but failed on Wednesday to clinch a free-trade deal that could have helped boost the world economy by USD 1 trillion a year and cleared the way for a broader global agreement.
Diplomats from the World Trade Organisation's 159 members had been trying to forge an agreement before a trade ministers' meeting next week in Bali, Indonesia.
Achieving a deal in Bali is seen as a final effort to revive a broader 12-year effort to ease global trade rules.
The mini-deal discussed in Geneva had been intended, in part, to reduce delays and inefficiencies at national borders.
Making it easier to move goods across borders could boost the global economy by nearly USD 1 trillion a year and support 21 million jobs, according to a report co-written by Jeffrey Schott, a senior fellow in international trade at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
The lack of a global deal hasn't prevented individual countries from seeking agreements among themselves. But experts say the failure to reach a global deal leaves poorer countries worse off.
"This should be a no-brainer for developed and developing countries," Schott said.
Deputy US Trade Representative Michael Punke expressed "a great deal of sadness" over the failure in Geneva.
"We're worried alongside so many in this room that a once-in-a-generation opportunity may have slipped our grasp," Punke said.
Schott said he's hopeful that negotiators will salvage the deal in Bali and restore the efforts to achieve a broader trade agreement.
"If this small test can't be passed, there's very little reason for confidence" negotiators will ever reach the broader agreement, Schott said.
Some poor countries are demanding economic and technical assistance before they sign on.
India is holding up a deal by insisting on protections for its farmers.
The WTO chief, Roberto Azevedo, said so much disagreement remains that several more weeks of negotiations cannot bridge the gaps.
"Holding negotiations in the short time we'll have in Bali would be simply impractical with over 100 ministers around the table," Azevedo said.

India emerges most attractive investment destination: EY
NEW DELHI, Nov 25: With relaxation in FDI norms to boost investor sentiments, India has emerged as the most attractive investment destination surpassing neighbouring China and the US, says a report.
The global survey of leading consultancy firm EY has ranked India as the most attractive investment destination followed by Brazil and China at second and third positions, respectively.
While Canada has cornered fourth spot, the US is placed at fifth position. Other nations in the top ten are South Africa (6), Vietnam (7), Myanmar (8), Mexico (9) and Indonesia (10).
"With sharp currency depreciation and opening up of FDI in various sectors, India has become an attractive destination for foreign investors," EY, earlier known as Ernst & Young, said.
In August, the government announced relaxation in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) norms in many sectors, including multi-brand retail and telecom.
According to the global consultancy firm, due to the present macro-economic pressures and heavy debt pile, several Indian companies are looking to divest non-core businesses.
"This has created a large opportunity for foreign players vying for a greater role in the Indian market," it added.
When it comes to investments, the US, France and Japan have emerged as "top three investors likely to invest in India".
The findings are a part of EY's latest Capital Confidence Barometer report, based on a survey of about 1,600 senior executives from large companies across 70 countries.
It aims to gauge corporate confidence in the economic outlook and understand boardroom priorities, among others.
With respect to India, sectors with the highest level of anticipated deal-making include automotive, technology, life sciences and consumer products.
About 38 percent of the respondents felt that M&A volumes in India are expected to improve over the next 12 months.
"Indian companies also reflect a concerted focus on job creation as well as optimising operations to deliver cost reduction," the report said.
Amit Khandelwal, who is National Leader & Partner (Transaction Advisory Services) at EY, said the investor outlook for India remains positive, despite the challenges the country's economy has faced in the recent past.
On the other hand, the report said that Indian corporate entities have started looking at developed markets for making acquisitions.
"After two years, European countries (UK and Germany) have made a comeback on the potential investment destinations list for Indian companies," it added.

Iffco pitches for urea decontrol
NEW DELHI, Nov 19: IFFCO, India's largest fertiliser firm, has termed as unsustainable the move to remove guaranteed purchase of most of urea manufactured by new plants, in the new Urea policy.
Fertiliser Ministry had moved a proposal to CCEA for replacing the guaranteed buyback clause from the policy with a bidding process where government will buy crop nutrient from producers offering the lowest price.
"You cannot have investment policy based on pricing policy. Investment policy should be based investment," according to Dr U S Awasthi, Managing Director of Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO).
IFFCO was also one of the companies which had applied under the present policy, for the brownfield expansion at its Kalol plant in Gujarat.
The guaranteed buyback clause had led to flood of applications from companies for expansion of plants.
The government however needed only 4-5 plants to meet the urea requirement.
Dr Awasthi said he had also given a suggestion to decontrol urea and provide fertiliser subsidy directly to farmers saying this is the only solution of fertiliser industry problems.
"If there is no guaranteed buy back clause then why businessmen will invest money, see you have to have a policy which is sustainable this policy is not sustainable," he said.
However, the proposal to amend the policy was supposed to be taken up in the CCEA meeting on November 13, but was dropped at the last moment.
Urea production in the country is stagnant at 22 million tonnes and the gap of 8 million tonnes is met through imports.
The policy was formulated with the purpose of substituting the imports by raising domestic output of urea.
The policy had guaranteed buyback of urea for eight years from start of production.
Government controls urea sector and has fixed the maximum retail price at Rs 5,360 per tonne.
Difference between maximum retail price and production cost is reimbursed as subsidy to fertiliser companies.
The Ministry wants to put in place transparent and objective criteria for giving approval to the proposals received so that only as much capacity is added as is required to meet the demand-supply gap.
