News from the European Parliament
The new EU Commission was voted into office by MEPs this week (and will serve for the next five years). The UK has not proposed a Commissioner. Upcoming dates Following the USA's lack of appointment of judges to the WTO's Appellate Body and its blocking of the replacement of any members, the Appellate Body will cease to be operational after 10th December, when the mandates of two of three remaining Appellate Body members will expire. This means that world trade disputes can no longer be adjudicated by an international court. (So much for Conservative claims that they will trade on WTO rules, something which no other country in the world does).
