Abstract
Is the EU a responsible member of the world trading system? To answer, we need to address a second question: to whom should the EU be responsible when it weighs and adopts policies which have impacts on trading relations with other countries? This chapter sets out to answer these two questions by examining some (not all) areas of trade policy where the EU has found itself in conflict with its trading partners.
