A letter from three EU member states to the Commission asking for more flexibility
Denmark, Ireland and the Nederland wrote to the new EU Trade commissioner Baronesse Ashton asking her to help Commission “to show more flexibility towards the countries and regions concerned in the next rounds of negotiations”. “Judging by the vast majority of reactions received from the ACP over recent weeks and months – they affirm in this letter - it is clear that as yet no sufficient degree of consensus has been achieved on the disputed negotiating issues as to allow negotiations to be brought to a successful conclusion. We would therefore like to urgently appeal to the Commission to make full use of all the flexibility available to us under current WTO law and to actively display that flexibility in current negotiations”.
