Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS TEGUCIGALPA 002219 SIPDIS DEPT. FOR WHA/PD; IIP/G/WHA DIPASQUALE; EB/TPP DCLUNE, AND IIP/T/ES DEPT. PASS USTR FOR AGASH E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: OIIP, KPAO, ETRD, HO, USTR SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION ON CAFTA, SEPTEMBER 18, 2003 1. Article in Tegucigalpa-based moderate daily "El Heraldo" on 9/18 entitled "Central America insists in protecting its agriculture against U.S. subsidies". "The sensitive issue of market access was the main feature of the third day of the CAFTA round. Once again, Central America insisted in protecting its sensitive industries against the `unfair competition' of U.S. products receiving subsidies from the U.S. government." "The concern of the Central American delegations increased after the WTO meeting in Cancun, where there was no agreement on the issue of subsidies to exports and other aid received by producers from rich countries, mainly in the U.S. and Europe." "Unknown sources stated that the U.S. has agreed to eliminate its subsidies to the exportation of agricultural products, but it's been reluctant to abolish other subsidies. Apparently, this issue will not be addressed until the eighth and ninth rounds." Palmer
