But these objectives – including improvement of market access in agriculture, manufacturing, and services; clarification of international trade rules; and progress on addressing relevant environmental issues – were overly ambitious. Even the modest Bali package was touch and go, requiring an extra day of negotiations to reach agreement on contentious issues like Indian farm subsidies and the US embargo of Cuba.
外界有批评认为该协议未能满足WTO2001年在多哈发展议程设定的目标。但这些目标——包括改善农业，制造业和服务业的市场准入机制；厘清国际贸易规则；并在解决环境问题上取得进展——有点过于雄心勃勃了。即使较温和的巴厘岛一揽子计划可以启动，但要在像印度农业补贴和美国对古巴禁运等有争议问题上达成一致，还需额外时日。
