Abstract

How will the European Union (EU) and the Central and East European countries (CEECs) interact in the current Doha round of negotiations in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and other international trade fora during the coming years?2 This question is of primary importance for the rest of the world because the EU has become a key trading partner, particularly as the United States is now less firm in its leadership and Japan is still hesitant about its global role. If it is clear that the EU influences the CEECs’ trade positions, it is equally clear that CEEC trade policies will influence EU trade strategy. As argued below, this second factor may be crucial, and all the more so because many vital trade issues in the years to come, such as services and government procurement, will be under the joint competence of the EU and its member states, opening up increasingly wide channels of reciprocal influence between the countries of Western and Central Europe.
