NEGOTIATORS DRAFT DETAILS OF NEXT RUBBER PACT
Rubber producers and consumers, who
agreed last week on the central elements of a new international
natural rubber pact, have started work on the legal drafting of
a future accord, delegates said.
    Compromise on issues blocking an agreement was reached at a
United Nations conference on an accord to replace the current
pact, which expires in October.
    The new International Natural Rubber Agreement (INRA) is
expected to be formally adopted on Friday.
