He said Dole Philippines has, in fact, loaded 8,000 kilograms of fresh pineapples already on its way to Brisbane.

Aquino, who is the country’s chief international trade negotiator in the World Trade Organization (WTO), pointed out that forthcoming trade talks in Cancun, Mexico under the WTO cannot proceed successfully if the EU continues to refuse to include more agricultural products in its list of products for liberalization.

                    [Summary] => Trade and Industry Undersecretary Tomas Aquino criticized yesterday the European Union for the continued refusal to open up its agricultural market while insisting that less developed countries adopt trade liberalization completely.


Aquino, who is the country’s chief international trade negotiator in the World Trade Organization (WTO), pointed out that forthcoming trade talks in Cancun, Mexico under the WTO cannot proceed successfully if the EU continues to refuse to include more agricultural products in its list of products for liberalization.
