On the occasion of rare earths, 2 world trade reminders

On the occasion of USA, EU and Japan jointly making a complaint to the WTO Trade re China limits on export of "rare earths":

Reminder (1): WTO Doha failed partly because some countries wanted to have the right to restrict export of basic foods in crisis cases

Trade Reminder (2): WTO Doha also failed because some developing countries didi not want to open their markets to US & EU industrial products (and compete with theirs).
