Overview
(June 28, 2022 – Brussels) The European Commission (Commission) has named Steptoe's International Trade partner Eva Monard to its pool of arbitrators and trade and sustainable development (TSD) experts.
In December 2020, the Commission called for applications for inclusion in the pool of arbitrators and the separate pool of TSD experts for dispute settlement panels under trade agreements to which the EU is a party. The pool of appointees was chosen by a selection panel of experienced international judges and academics. The Commission will draw on this list to make proposals for the appointment of arbitrators and TSD experts in a specific case or for pre-agreed lists under the relevant bilateral agreements with third countries.

Her practice focuses on EU trade and customs law, World Trade Organization (WTO) disputes, trade remedies such as anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations, EU sanctions and trade controls, and EU internal market law.
