Andrew Doyle
Question:368. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation regarding Ireland's position at the World Trade Organisation based in Geneva, Switzerland, if Ireland's position as a full member of the WTO is ever different to that of the European Union, which is also a full member of the WTO, bearing in mind that Ireland is a member state of the EU; the steps that will be taken within the WTO if the position of Ireland and the EU ever differs; his views on whether both a member state of the EU such as Ireland and the EU itself, both being full members of the WTO is beneficial; his views on whether both member states and the EU itself being members of the WTO, dual representation, could be a model to be replicated by the EU at the United Nations in New York for the General Assembly where it does not enjoy full status; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
