PARIS — Russia’s appetite for joining the World Trade Organization appears to have evaporated, even though the trade group has been proving its mettle in discouraging protectionist reactions during the recent financial upheaval, the head of the W.T.O. said Friday.

So far from the international commitment to a coordinated fiscal boost he once dreamed of, the Prime Minister now seems content to accept a mere stock-taking exercise at the G20 summit next week: "Nobody is suggesting that people come to the G20 meeting and put on the table the budget they're going to have for the next year. What we are suggesting is that we have to look at what we have done so far... I see consensus, not a disagreement on that."
