SUBJECT: THAILAND REACTION TO EU AGRICULTURE PROPOSAL
REF: SECSTATE 199861
1. Embassy delivered talking points on the EU agriculture
proposal to the RTG Ministry of Commerce as requested in
reftel. Ms. Sirinart Chaimun of the Ministry's Department of
Trade Negotiations said that the RTG shared essentially the
same view as the U.S. of the EU proposal and considered it to
be inadequate. As a member of the G-20, the RTG would like
to see the EU proposal meet the G-20's more ambitious goals
on market access and domestic support.
