2.3. How is the 'Millennium Round' of WTO Trade Talks likely to influence rural development policies?EU agricultural policy will be heavily attacked by the USA in particular (supported by almost every non- EU country other than Japan) in the forthcoming round of trade talks due to start at the beginning of 2000 under the ægis of the WTO. In this respect, it is likely that further liberalisation of international agricultural trade will play a catalytic role in switching from sectorally oriented agricultural policy to spatially oriented rural policy in the EU.
