The Nice Treaty

.

Chapter 4 in EU Trade Law, 2024, pp 54-86 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In November 2000, there were two options presented in the drafts for the new Treaty: 1) the inclusion of trade in services, investment, and intellectual property rights in Article 133(1) EC; and 2) the creation of a Protocol for the extension of Article 133 EC to the negotiation and conclusion of agreements on trade in services and intellectual property rights. In December 2000, option 1 became the basis for the final text in the Nice Treaty, including an explicit reservation of Member State powers; option 2 (the creation of a Protocol) was rejected. Since the Protocol on WTO participation was also dropped, there is no agreement on a single procedure for all WTO negotiations, whether it is for issues of exclusive EU competence, shared competence or Member States’ competence.
