The WTO, which replaced GATT, is tasked with organising world trade on free trade principles.

The EU is represented in WTO trade talks by the EU Commission and most EU positions are adopted by qualified majority. The Treaty of Nice calls for the use of qualified majority voting in all international agreements where the internal decisions relating to them are agreed by a qualified majority.
