Abstract

After the establishment of the European Community (EC), it has created a wide range of external relations with non-member states through bilateral and multilateral agreements. The WTO Agreement is one of these agreements which were jointly concluded by the EC and its Member States. Since both the EC and its Member States are members of WTO, this lead to double or mixed memberships in WTO. The double membership was arise from historical evolution and practical necessity and led to a number of problems including disputes of double membership by EC in the WTO, the obligations of EC when its Member States breach WTO Agreements, the applicability of the WTO rules on EC laws and the effects and the effectiveness of WTO laws and decisions on EC. This paper aims to explore these problems and conclude some of the major conflicts between EC and WTO. The paper further extends the study to some conflicts between Regional Economies and WTO.
