Myrto Zambarta will be appointed director for Multilateral Affairs, Strategy, Analysis, Evaluation at the Directorate-General for trade (DG TRADE), the European Commission has announced.

Zambarta has been the head of the Commission representation in Cyprus since September 2021. The date of effect of the appointment is to be determined at a later stage.

Zambarta, a Cypriot national, has almost two decades of experience within the Commission, as noted in a press release.

DG TRADE is the Commission's department responsible for implementing the common commercial policy of the EU, managing trade relationships and negotiations with countries, regions and the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

In her new position, Zambarta will draw upon her extensive experience in both strategic leadership and international negotiations, as well as the managerial and diplomatic skills needed to navigate the complexities of international trade that she was acquired in her previous positions.

The Cypriot official has also worked as Head of Unit for Multilateral Affairs and the WTO, and as deputy Head of Unit for Services and Investments at DG TRADE, as well as a member of the Cabinet of the former Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, Christos Stylianides.

“Her deep understanding of EU trade policy and multilateral relations, coupled with her clear communication and sharp political acumen, will be key as she takes on this challenging new role” according to the Commission’s press release.

Zambarta joined the European Commission in 2005, prior to which she worked as a lawyer in private practice in London.
