south korea's human he moldova's tutor or you know if she britain's liam fox answered uribe years mohamad maziar to worry jury. whoever takes the hot seat will certainly have a big job on their hands the 1st item on the agenda will be saving the organization is crucial dispute resolution system it's been paralyzed ever since the u.s. blocked the appointment of new judges to its decision making course the bigger picture will be adapting to the changing face of global trade. the chinese u.s. trade conflict to shine a light on u.s. grievances over how the w.t. o. deals with china the u.s. as the organizations rules for dealing with economies like china are out of date a view shared by both the e.u. and japan. let's get more of those from our eliott seen he's a professor of economics at the constance university of applied sciences here in

germany and an avid follower of the proceedings at the w t o welcome to g.w. no better us of a view announced his early departure in may more than 3 months ago now a member states couldn't even decide on an acting chief that's a pretty bad image isn't. it is actually and it's it's lost if you once a tip on the ice were that the w t o is able to solve the member states and able to solve urgent problems we have is now back in the position of the general secretary for the last 20 years the member states were able to start reforms in order to establish roots for the 21st century and all this you know people forget 95 percent of global trade is taking place under the rules of the w t o and we cannot stay without a w t o just an example to solve disputes we have

a dispute absolute body this institution now is no longer able to work because it's blog. in times of a pun demick and the recession their politicians are tempted to close down tray these are really bad news i want to get to that dispute resolution process in a 2nd here but what are the main obstacles that countries are disagreeing on when trying to find a new had of the w t o. i mean the it's quite complex there are. the problem the main problem here is that the w t o has been over the last 25 years established rules with the idea of a competitive global environment and there are competing countries have a problem that you can solve with within the death of your child using judges the problem. has been that been changed china came into that on the issue of this in 2001 a country with a centralised non market economy participating in the w t

o and of course china today is not only a developing country it's one it's the biggest x. border it's a manufacturer of the world and at the same time it's not a competitive economy now how can your soul disputes with an economy like within china with rules that are made for a competitive environment and america and not only the of the of the president donald trump but already the obama administration trying to address these within the ws you know but they were not able to convince other member countries to increase pressure on china to to introduce more competition and so forth so it's more about a competitive environment missing in china and less an issue within that up you know and america now tries to solve this problem bilaterally with the war and adults recently what sort of reforms does the new head need to push for them. well this is you know there's

a strategic element for to put in your person i mentioned china we have a lot of candidates from emerging economies but china is also investing a lot in emerging economies so how can imagine economy representative independent and increased pressure for example for. 2 to 2 ports china to become more competitive so that the challenge will be to identify a company that i find a candidate who can balance the interests of the west and competitive economies in light of china and on the outside in the concerns university of applied sciences thank you for talking to us. thank you. the owner of the chinese optic talk says it will comply with beijing's new export rules which could complicate the sale of the business parent company by fans as just as the 2 weeks to find a buyer a deadline set by the trumpet ministration so far microsoft and wal-mart have shown
