reform the body including its rules on state industrial subsidies. a country while it is clearly aware of the challenges ahead saying what are the words you want you hear about the w t o currently this function is paralyzed or it doesn't do anything relevant that's something she's hoping to change now for more on a conduit while and the director general ship i'm joined by a car she's president of the german institute of global an area studies were institute at homburg i read it thank you for joining us so is a conduit while a sure thing as the next to read director general. great to see you thank you for having me so the traveler ministration had blocked the appointment of dr nichols the oconee all in a out and had announced that it was backing miss you from south korea
5:19 pm
now the miss you has withdrawn from the process it doesn't automatically mean that dr levy i know would be appointed because it is all 100164 members of the world trade organization who have to agree with consensus on the appointment and to get this consensus the biden administration would have to revive us the previous administration's decision to block this what in fact not be such a difficult thing for the biden administration to do and it would be consistent with a new administration's commitment to multilateralism. so if it doesn't up the process and does not insist on a new process on a new race the u.s. would serve itself and the system well if it were to apply to.
