The main threat to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) comes from the European Union (EU) which is trying to turn the multilateral trade organisation into a regulatory authority on the lines of the EU.
Delivering a lecture on globalisation, WTO and the new round here on Thursday, Dr Razeen Sally, senior lecturer in international political economy at the London School of Economics and Political Science said that the new issues which the EU tried to thrust upon World Trade Organisation during the Doha ministerial meet, including environment, were on the lines of the regulatory mechanism followed by the EU.
