WTO Changes.

Hi

A New CEO of the WTO is being appointed.

There are three who we know may be in the running.

Liam Fox, Peter Mandleson and the Head of the EU Trade Commission

Two out of the three could be problematic for the UK.

Personally, I wouldn't have put that on my CV if I was him

He thinks himself suitable.

Lord Mandelson, EU trade commissioner from 2004-2008, said: “Wholesale change is not going to be brought about in one bound.” He continued: “Achieving this as [director-general] is a major political task. It is not going to be done by someone shy and retiring or who sees themselves as a civil servant or a technician.” Although Lord Mandelson, a Labour party peer,*is interested in the position, trade officials in the UK and Brussels said he would struggle to secure support from some senior British politicians. Despite Lord Mandelson’s own pro-European credentials, it would also be hard for the EU to support a British candidate during the fractious Brexit negotiations, the officials said. Liam Fox, the Conservative former trade secretary, on Sunday indicated his interest but has few political backers in government.

I was just reading this on the news, any help?

"Irishman Phil Hogan has been named as the EU's new trade commissioner.

His appointment was announced at a press conference by the incoming head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

It means he will be the EU's chief trade negotiator if and when free trade negotiations commence between the EU and the UK after Brexit."

Hi

The link is out of date.

He is resigning to apply for the WTO Post.

The EU want to keep him.
