• Coreper II, consisting of the Permanent Representatives themselves.

COREPER 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.
