the EU has played a central role in developing the international trading
system since World War II.
Like the GATT (and later the WTO), the EU was itself originally designed to remove customs
barriers and promote trade between its Member States. The EU single market was partly
inspired by GATT principles and practices. The Union has always been among the main
promoters of effective international trade based on the rule of law. Such a system helps ensure
that its businesses enjoy fair market access abroad, and thus supports economic growth, both
domestically and in third countries, particularly less-developed ones.
The EU’s Common Commercial Policy is one of the areas in which the Union as such has full
and direct competency. In other words, when acting in the WTO, the EU works as a single
actor and is represented by the Commission rather than by the Member States. The Commission
negotiates trade agreements and defends the EU’s interests before the WTO Dispute Settlement
Body on behalf of all 28 Member States. The Commission regularly consults and reports to
the Council and the European Parliament. Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the
Council and Parliament have been co-legislators and thus have equal say on international trade
matters.
