The Council for Trade in Goods (Council for Goods) is responsible for GATT and is composed of representatives of all WTO member countries. Since October 2020, Mikael Anzén, Ambassador of Sweden, has been the President of the Council. The Council has 10 committees dealing with, inter alia, market access, agriculture, subsidies and anti-dumping measures. Since then, it has been discussed whether this symbolic gesture was a victory for it or whether it ensured its future exclusion from meaningful participation in the multilateral trading system. On the other hand, there was no doubt that the three-year extension, until 1970, of the long-term Regarding International Trade arrangement to Cotton Textiles, which later became the multifibre arrangement, had led to a longer-term disruption of export opportunities for developing countries. . . .
