An engaging session in Brussels with european Civil Society Organizations. Joined European Commission Executive Vice-President @VDombrovskis in a discussion entitled “Tackling global trade challenges - is multilateralism still the answer ?”. Excellent questions on the role of WTO in a fast changing world including on issues such as climate change, carbon pricing, digital trade, WTO reform , in particular reforming the Dispute Settlement System, and Agriculture and Food Security. Nicely moderated by @mariatad of Bloomberg. Thanks also to DG Trade @WeyandSabine for a good working session on MC13. Onward to MC13!
