U.S. says others still fail to match WTO ambitions

GENEVA, June 30 (Reuters) The United States said on Friday it would meet commitments undertaken by World Trade Organisation member countries for the WTO's Doha round of trade talks but stuck to its view that other proposals fell short.

''We continue to have high hopes for a meaningful and robust outcome to these talks and we are urging other countries to seek the same,'' the offices of the U.S. trade representative and of its agriculture department said in a statement.

''The U.S. proposal delivers on the promise of Doha, unfortunately other proposals thus far lack the necessary ambition,'' the statement said.

The United States has come under pressure from other WTO to improve its offer to cut subsidies to farmers to help unblock the Doha round.
