Nobody I've talked with in Geneva talks of the UK as a saviour of the world trade system, they see Brexit as being nationalist and protectionist. But only too happy if the UK wants to be constructive in the WTO, some point out we have done this in the past
Good news, UK team in Geneva is well respected. Unfortunately what people hear from Westminster doesn't seem to be realistic - and it is being followed quite closely.
Should probably add, no great optimism about prospects for WTO in near future. As ever, entirely unrepresentative sample...
