View answerThe Commission negotiations in the WTO on behalf of the EU on the basis of a mandate agreed by the Council. Commissioner Fischler reported on the up to date situation in the negotiations to the October meeting of the Council of Ministers, which I attended. My officials are participating in the technical discussions which are currently under way. I intend to avail of the earliest opportunity to discuss this, and other issues, with the new Commissioner following her appointment.
