On 17 July, the day the modalities texts were issued, more than 90 civil society groups from developed and developing countries urged trade ministers to “declare the Doha Round... dead” and pave the way for a new, development and environment-centred global trade regime.
Over 90 civil society organisations from all over the world have sent a letter to their trade ministers calling on them to acknowledge the failure of the Doha Round and to institute a two-year moratorium to provide the time and space necessary to rethink the model and process of global trade negotiations.

The call by the civil society groups came just as the chairs of the agriculture and non-agricultural market access (NAMA) negotiations at theWTO issued their revised draft modalities texts on 17 July.
