EC Spurns Trade Accord Over Farm Issue: The European Community rejected a GATT plan to liberalize world trade, saying it would demand unfair concessions by European farmers. The EC said it was satisfied with other aspects of the compromise trade reform plan put forward last week by Arthur Dunkel, head of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Dunkel is trying to break a logjam in the long-running trade talks. The United States, backed by farm-exporting nations and much of the Third World, is pushing for deep cuts in European food subsidies that Washington blames for surplus food output, low prices and distorted trade flows. The EC, with nearly five times as many farmers as the United States, favors less ambitious reforms.
