But neither was there a breakdown as at Reykjavik, and hopes have been raised for more far-reaching agreements next year.

France may also have had constitutional problems to sign and ratify such a far-reaching agreement.

In many ways, he is the ideal figure to try to forge a far-reaching international agreement like the one being sought at Maastricht.

In 1985, the unions signed a far-reaching agreement with management to modernize work practices.
