The Committee of Permanent Representatives in relation with International Trade

In the context of trade organizations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following definition of COREPER (Committee of Permanent Representatives): A key group in the decision making process of the European Community, comprising member-state ambassadors accredited to the EC. COREPER is responsible for preparatory work for meetings of the EC Council of Ministers; works to resolve policy differences between the Council and the EC Commission; and serves as liaison between member-state governments and EC institutions. The committee operates at two levels (both of which meet weekly except during August): COREPER 1 consists of deputies to ambassadors; COREPER 2 comprises ambassadors, and usually handles more sensitive political questions.
