Key

  Reporting to General Council (or a subsidiary)
  Reporting to Dispute Settlement Body
  Plurilateral committees inform the General Council of their activities although these agreements are not signed by all WTO members

The General Council also meets as the Trade Policy Review Body and Dispute Settlement Body

For the current negotiations, the Services Council and Agriculture Committee meet in “special sessions” and report directly to the General Council
