Some European Union member nations have expressed concern that the bloc's trade chief Peter Mandelson might be conceding too much at world trade talks in Geneva.

The misgivings were put forward only a day after Mr Mandelson said he thought an agreement might be possible at the drawn-out talks, which are being attended by trade ministers.

The meeting has released a draft set of proposals which would require the United States and the European Union to make cuts in agricultural subsidies and import tariffs and emerging economies to open up their markets.

Apart from union concerns, it is known Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are deeply concerned about the direction the talks are taking.
