Trade commissioner Hogan will not seek WTO top job
By EUobserver
EU trade commissioner Phil Hogan on Monday said in a statement he would not seek position of the World Trade Organization (WTO) director general. He had previously said he was looking into the possibility of running for the post, that will become vacant in September. Running would have meant Hogan would had to suspend his activities during the process as a trade commissioner in a crucial time for global trade.
