As part of the timeframe for agricultural negotiations outlined in the Doha negotiations, the chairman of the WTO committee on agricultural negotiations, Ambassador Stewart Harbinson of Hong Kong, produced a document that unsuccessfully aimed to bridge the gaps in the negotiation positions of various countries. The Harbinson proposal was not meant to be a final agreement, but was used as a tool to the various parties involved in negotiations to come to an agreement within the specified timeline. The draft was first released in March 2003.
