Rumours and unsubstantiated stories

The WTO meeting process is very secretive, so all we have right now is rumours. The meeting is either about to fall apart, or the European Union is getting ready for hard bargaining, or there is a comet about to impact the convention centre.

Okay, I made that last one up.

Several countries are threatening to leave the process (it was supposed to end at 3 today) mainly through unsubstantiated rumours.

Another rumour has the EU is reorganizing so that it can continue negotiating on the new issues it wants the WTO to start discussing.

After five days of meeting and very little sleep, rumours are running rampant.
