Europe’s agricultural production will not be sacrificed on the 'altar of global liberalism', Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s President, vowed on the 30 June 2008, threatening to block any deal at the World Trade Organisation that jeopardised the region’s farming industry.

Subsequently, EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson accused President Nicolas Sarkozy of undermining him and Europe's position at the WTO world trade talks.
