Chapter Chapter 2 in International Trade Relations of the European Union, 2022, pp 7-28 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter puts forward the argument of this book, which is that shared competence exists between the national and supranational levels within the EU because EU Member States do not trust the European Commission in the external trade relations law of the EU. A second contention is that the EU will have greater bargaining power in international trade negotiations if it speaks with a single voice. Within the EU-27, we have compatible values, overlapping interests, shared goals, as well as economic, social, and political ties. Therefore, there is a presumption of collective action in the EU’s external trade relations. However, EU Member States disagree on everything before they start negotiations while trying to define a mission together as partners of the European project.
