Abstract
European union (EU) Courts have to consistently interpret EU law when a World Trade Organisation (WTO) provision is at stake. The object of this chapter is to analyze the interpretative relevance of reports of the Appellate Body (AB) and the panels adopted by the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) with a view to their clarification of WTO provisions. Interpreting EU law in light of clarifications provided by panels and the AB is a form of judicial relevance of WTO law that fits the most specific features of the EU, and its benefits go to the cause of multilateralism in international trade relations. WTO law contained in DSB adopts reports, prevents breaches of body of law and improves compliance of the EU. The consolidation of the WTO acquis slowly takes shape through the action of judiciary, without necessarily being an obstacle to the room for manoeuvre of the Contracting Parties with power. Keywords:Appellate Body (AB); Dispute Settlement Body (DSB); EU law; European union (EU); World Trade Organisation (WTO); WTO law; WTO provisions
