Between communicative action and strategic action: the Article 113 CommitteeFootnote¹

Since the renumbering of articles following the Amsterdam Treaty, the former Article 113 Committee is now called the Article 133 Committee. As EU negotiations on the WTO Agreement on Basic Telecommunications Services took place before this change, the committee in question will be referred to as the Article 113 Committee in this article.
