UK - WTO notification
WTO | United Kingdom submits draft schedule to the WTO outlining post-Brexit goods commitments, 24 July

The United Kingdom considers this notification to constitute a rectification of its concessions under the WTO, on the grounds that the schedule replicates the concessions and commitments currently applicable to the UK as an EU member. Under this process, known as the "1980 Procedures for modification and rectification of Schedules", WTO members will have three months to review the schedule, which will be considered to be approved if there are no objections from other members.

October 2018 "conclusion" to UK negotiation
A question one might ask, but will not evidently find in the Irish Times is, Has any WTO member submitted objections to either TRQ yet?

And therefore, What are EU delegation purposes in "side-line" meetings on "WTO reform" with third-countries?

One will not likely find the correct answers in Tory gov presses. The consequences of its acts are bigger than itself, and that is not flattering and ideas of "brinksmanship" in a game of more than two players. One of which the odious Team Trump, bandying about autos and soybeans.
