The United Kingdom's membership of the WTO does not currently include the Overseas Territories. The UK Government is constitutionally responsible for the international relations of the Overseas Territories, and should an Overseas Territory wish to participate in the WTO, the United Kingdom Government would look to assist in exploring the processes and options available.
