There have been bipartisan concerns raised by numerous American administrations about systemic issues with the WTO Appellate Body,Grassley said.I wish U.S. concerns would have been resolved before today, but that didn't happen. I hope this provides the impetus for WTO members to seriously address the issues raised by the United States. I have said before that the WTO's success depends on members acknowledging its shortcomings and working together to address our goals to strengthen the institution. The work to restore the Appellate Body should continue in earnest with the shared goal among all members of getting WTO dispute settlement back on track in 2020.
