Splits appeared within the European Union over the role of the blocâs trade chief, Peter Mandelson, in getting global trade talks moving again last weekend. Mr. Mandelson and other ministers from trade powers met Saturday in Davos, Switzerland, and agreed to push ahead with negotiations aimed at getting a deal for the World Trade Organizationâs Doha round. The round was suspended last July as a result of big differences, chiefly over farm trade, and it risks running out of time soon. France, a longtime defender of Europeâs agricultural interests, criticized Mr. Mandelson over the Davos meeting, accusing him of going beyond his authority. Franceâs criticisms were echoed by Austriaâs farm minister. Germany, which holds the European Union presidency, supports Mr. Mandelson, said Michael Glos, the German economics minister.
