Article 1
The position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the General Council of the World Trade Organisation shall be to join the consensus to amend paragraph C(ii) of Annex 3 to the WTO Agreement to extend by one year the cycles of Trade Policy Reviews of WTO Members. The review cycles in paragraph C(ii) of Annex 3 to the WTO Agreement depend on the share of world trade and currently stand at two, four or six years. They will be replaced, respectively, by cycles of three, five or seven years. This position shall be expressed by the Commission at the upcoming meeting of the General Council.
