Russia's bid for quick entry to the World Trade Organisation is in jeopardy over the country's refusal to open up key sectors of its economy to foreign competition, European Union trade negotiators said.

Moscow's enthusiasm for the WTO has since warned in the face of aggressive lobbying by business interests fearful of foreign competition.
