WTO chief Pascal Lamy on Sunday told EU participants to sort out first who will argue for what at June's G20 summit in Toronto, otherwise "nobody" will listen.
"The frank reality is that it does not make sense," the former EU trade commissioner said of seven European Union seats at the summit, after the bloc's new president Herman Van Rompuy also secured his ticket at last week's EU summit.
"If one European takes the floor, and then another European... nobody listens," the World Trade Organization boss told a Brussels conference. He said the "right solution, if I may, is to at least make sure they speak with one mouth -- not one voice -- on each topic on the agenda."
