LAHAINA, Hawaii, July 31 (Reuters) - Pacific trade talks are
unlikely to end in a deal due to an impasse over trade in autos
and dairy goods and monopoly periods for biologic drugs, sources
close to the negotiations said on Friday.
Three sources involved in the talks said although ministers
from the 12 countries negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership
were due to meet again shortly, a deal was improbable.
"It would be very difficult to arrive at a deal," one of the
officials said, requesting anonymity because discussions were
ongoing.
