The 27 handed over their WTO participation to Germany who basically do everything in the interest of themselves.
One of the reasons the UK decided to leave, something you still don't understand. By the way, Mr Macron wants your country to fund Poland now the UK has taken its funding away. I take it that you are OK with that

If the 27 (or do you mean 26?) handed over their participation to germany, then until today, so did the UK. Germany had you under their thumb? Interesting fact you tell me there!

From what I've read, anyone who doesn't like the EU will like the WTO even less. Seems very "incomplete" in its procedures and just as cumbersome. So I'm unclear on the celebration. At least with EU we didn't have to deal with this nonsense ourselves.06-02-2020, 08:53 AM

There are also a small number of other agreements, negotiated since the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization, in which the United Kingdom has participated as a Member State of the European Union, but to which the United Kingdom was not party in its own right. These are: the Government Procurement Agreement (the ‘GPA’), the Protocol Amending the Marrakesh Agreement (the ‘Trade Facilitation Agreement’), the Protocol Amending the TRIPS Agreement (the ‘TRIPS Amendment’), the 2015 Protocol to the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, the Ministerial Declaration on Trade in Information Technology Products (‘ITA I’) and the Ministerial Declaration on the Expansion of Trade in Information Technology Products (‘ITA II’). For the duration of the transition period, the United Kingdom is treated as a Member State of the European Union for the purpose of these agreements and arrangements. Upon the expiry of the transition period, the United Kingdom will confirm its continued acceptance of these agreements and arrangements.
