[originaltext] European Commission President Jose Manvel Barroso and other top

European Commission President Jose Manvel Barroso and other top commissioners are heading to Washington D. C. to urge the Bush administration to make compromises that are necessary to successfully conclude the stalled Doha round of world trade talks.
  It is not by chance that these top European diplomats are starting 2007 with a visit Monday to Washington D.C. They want a global trade agreement. They want it now and they believe the Bush administration is standing in the way. The five-year-long Doha round of world trade talks broke down last summer primarily over subsidies to American farmers which the U.S. refused to cut to levels agreeable to Europe. Private negotiating has nudged the issue forward. Peter Power, spokesman for Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson, says the delegation will urge Mr. Bush to make the deal now.
