'The UK is still a member of the WTO
but sacrificed its independent seat when it joined the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973 and became represented by the European Union (EU) in external trade negotiations.
By reprising its own membership once it break ties with Brussels, Britain could rely on its membership of the WTO for access to European markets and as a first step towards full-blown free trade agreements with other blocs and countries – including the EU.'
That means we don’t need to start all over again or reapply –
we just need to comply with our new obligations.
We don't have a seat, we will have to retake our seat and to do that we will have certain 'obligations' ... Who knows what they will be?
