I believe that the EU can't be a member of WIPO because the EU is not a legal
person. Only Member States can.
The EU constitution fixes that (it says that the EU is a legal person).
Unfortunately the EU constitution was not approved during the italian
presidency
(don't know if Ireland will manage to find a solution).
