New Talks on Farm Subsidies Scheduled: Japan, South Korea and the 12-nation European Community are expecting to redefine their positions on farm subsidy issues at a new round of talks Wednesday with Arthur Dunkel, director-general of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

Dunkel hopes to develop a proposal on agricultural subsidies by early November.
