Commonwealth officials say this weekend's meeting of more than 50 leaders in Malta will deliver a fresh impetus to next month's World Trade Organisation (WTO) talks in Hong Kong.

The start of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) comes as European Union ministers agree to reform their sugar industry after days of impasse.

Under pressure to come up with a deal, the European Union (EU) has agreed to a package which cuts the price of sugar gradually over four years, beginning in 2006, while producers will benefit from aid to sweeten the cuts

.

Remember when we used to be involved with the Commonwealth? :cry:
