1/4. OK, congratulations to the small but élite number who answered the two quiz-poll questions.
You have been very consistent. Well done
Unlike some.
Results:
Q1 (left) how many WTO members listed?
Q2 (right) how many in the services regulation talks listed?
But ...

2/4. The official answer to Q1 is:
The number of WTO members listed = 28 (the EU + 27 member states). Most answered correctly

3/4. But the official answer to Q2 is:
The number of participants in the services regulation talks listed = 27
That's right. 27. Even though the EU is itself on the list, it's told the WTO that the count must be 27.
Why the WTO has agreed is a mystery

4/4. So the EU is saying "I'm talking on behalf of my member states, but actually I'm not here at all. Oh but do put me on the list."
All because of some internal conflict between the Commission and member states over "competence".
There's no reason why the WTO needs to comply.
