English term or phrase: to trail
No acabo de entender esta frase. "It has been felt that in the post-Cancun period, and with significant attention being trailed on salvaging the future of multilateralism, concrete progress is needed in reducing trade barriers and trade distorting subsidies."

Explanation:
to trail, tambien es perseguir o seguir [a una persona] y tambien es lo que viene atras come en una fila o el final de una cola o atrasarse de las gentes que estan adelante. Un 'trailer' es un anuncio de estreno de una pelicula que esta al salir. Me imagino que se refiere a el WTO.Hope I was any help
