WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - A deal in long-running world trade talks is possible in 2010 if key countries are willing to make the politically difficult final decisions, the head of the World Trade Organization said on Thursday.

"What we need is a sense that negotiators are moving into an end game," WTO Director General Pascal Lamy said during a discussion. "There is a huge potential on the table (to boost trade) provided we close the negotiations."
