Abstract
In multilateral trade negotiations, the EU is represented by the Commission and ‘speaks with one voice’ (Meunier and Nicolaïdis, 1999). This is a unique situation worldwide, and it is almost revolutionary to have a situation where nation states have voluntarily transferred sovereignty to the European level in a key area of external affairs (Meunier and Nicolaïdis, 1999).
