I would say unless we see offers from other countries, particularly the EU, on ... reducing tariffs, we will not be able to see a successful round, |
I'm concerned right now that unless we can break this deadlock on agriculture, it will be hard to make progress on all the other issues, |
I'm disappointed ... there have been no significant moves on farm market access, |
I'm disappointed because we haven't seen much progress on market access. Time is running out. |
I'm not encouraged. We did not make adequate progress. We made incremental, but not adequate progress. |
I'm not giving up, ... We only have this opportunity once a generation. |
I'm optimistic we are making the sort of progress that we need to meet our tight deadlines, ... We have come closer together. |
I'm seeing a little bit of a different spirit today. You see people coming together this morning as we discussed to say this ought to be a single-undertaking and we ought to work to bring all of these issues together including trade facilitation, development and rules into one package. Not you go first, then I'll go, but rather we need to do it simultaneously together. |
I'm very encouraged by the talks and I'm very hopeful that we can deepen our economic relationship with Korea through an FTA, but we're not quite there yet. |
I’m optimistic about a comprehensive agreement with China because I think it makes sense for China and for the US, |
If China believes that it is doing enough to protect intellectual property, then it should view this process as a chance to prove its case, |
If Doha is successful, it is partly because China and the United States have partnered in a successful way, |
If we can't agree next week on agriculture, I can't see how we'll meet the December deadline, ... The clock is ticking. |
In an increasingly integrated global market place we cannot afford to do anything other than be very aggressive in terms of market opening. |
In this town, if you give good advice and if you are discreet about that advice, you are very valuable. And that is what Dick Cheney provides for the president. |
