For its member states, particularly those which are part of the Eurozone the EU has become an increasingly important decider and shaper of economic policy. The EU, as a whole, is now 'the largest exporter and importer of both goods and services... and is one of the largest hosts and sources of foreign direct investments' (Dur and Elsig, 2011:323). It is now the EU, rather than member states, which is mainly responsible for negotiating foreign economic policies (e.g. within the WTO), although this is not the case within the IMF, where individual states still retain control (ibid.:325). Furthermore, the EU has been relatively activist in its foreign economic policy-making, appearing eager to use the WTO's procedures to prevent dumping, for example (ibid.:326-7)
