Brittan warns Doha talks will be 'hard'

LORD Brittan, the Prime Minister's trade adviser, has given warning that the first part of 2011 will be "make or break" for the much-delayed Doha round of global trade talks.

"I think it is possible but it is going to be hard," said Brittan, who was European commissioner for trade during the 1990s. He said it remained uncertain whether "we will get a breakthrough from the Americans or we won't".
