MEMBER INFORMATION
United Kingdom and the WTO
This page gathers information on the United Kingdom's participation in the WTO. The United Kingdom has been a WTO member since 1 January 1995 and a member of GATT since 1 January 1948.
The United Kingdom was a member State of the European Union until 31 January 2020. The European Union and the United Kingdom agreed a Withdrawal Agreement pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, providing for a time-limited transition period until 31 December 2020 during which European Union law, as modified by the Withdrawal Agreement, continued to be applicable to and in the United Kingdom.
