GENEVA (Reuters) - Talks to find a breakthrough in long-delayed world trade talks have not yielded big developments so far but discussions will begin focusing on possible solutions later on Tuesday, a World Trade Organization spokesman said.

"(WTO Director General) Pascal Lamy intends to move this afternoon into detailed, text-based work on agriculture and NAMA...and to begin to discuss possible solutions to the outstanding issues," WTO spokesman Keith Rockwell said.

NAMA stands for non-agricultural market access, a technical term for industrial goods.
