The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), signed on October 30, 1947, by 23 countries, was a legal agreement minimizing barriers to international trade by eliminating or reducing quotas, tariffs, and subsidies while preserving significant regulations.
The GATT became active on January 1st, 1948. It has since been improved, finally leading to the World Trade Organization (WTO) being established on January 1, 1995, which absorbed and enlarged it. Its agreements, which at this point encompassed nearly 90% of world trade, had 125 signatories.
The GATT is overseen by the Council for Trade in Goods (Goods Council), which is made up of members from every WTO member state. Swedish Ambassador Mikael Anzén will serve as the Goods Council's head as of September 2020. There are ten committees on the council that deals with issues like anti-dumping laws, market access, and agriculture.
