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.

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.
