The EU has been negotiating trade agreements since the 1970s, then as the European Communities. Over time it has diversified its trading partners, and is now negotiating trade agreements with partners from every continent. The content of trade agreements has also evolved as EU trade competences have developed. This briefing looks at how trade negotiations are conducted and concluded in the EU after the Lison treaty, and discusses some of the key issues in the current EU trade policy debate.
