The media were given privileged access to valuable information sources and links were established between participants and the DGs services.External Trade Conference

The EU is one of the key players in the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The EU has a common trade policy, with the Commission negotiating on behalf of the Union 's 27 Member States.

As such, the European Union is one of the driving forces behind the current round of multilateral trade negotiations in the WTO involving further market opening and additional rule making, underpinned by commitments to take measures to integrate developing countries into the world trading system. The main objective of the New Round is to put development at the heart of the world trade system in a way that will help combat poverty.



The European Commission, DG External Trade, retained Europublic for the organisation of two international media seminars on trade in anticipation of the WTO Cancun Round.
