Max Planck Commentaries on World Trade Law
Author: Rudiger Wolfrum
Publisher: Brill - Nijhoff
ISBN: 9789004145696
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 4608
Book Description
The "Max Planck Commentaries on World Trade Law" explain the whole range of world trade law in seven individual article-by-article type commentaries. While the first volume ("WTO - World Economic Order, World Trade Law") serves as a nutshell-type introduction to the WTO, the remaining six volumes focus on specific aspects of WTO law. The second volume ("WTO - Institutions and Dispute Settlement") brings together the WTO institutional fundamentals and the whole dispute settlement. The third volume ("WTO - Technical Barriers and SPS Measures") deals with the most controversial provisions on technical standards, protection of health and environment. The fourth volume ("WTO - Trade Remedies") is devoted to the very specific area of antidumping, subsidies and safeguards. The fifth volume ("WTO - Trade in Goods") comments on the substantial trade in good rules of the GATT/WTO. Eventually, the sixth and seventh volume ("WTO - Trade in Services" and "WTO - Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights") deal with intellectual property rights and trade in services rules respectively.

WTO - Technical Barriers and SPS Measures
Author: Rüdiger Wolfrum
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047427343
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 597
Book Description
Technical standards are increasingly determining the development, production, trade in and marketing of goods and services. In order to ensure that technical regulations and product standards which vary from country to country do not create unnecessary obstacles to trade the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade was adopted during the Uruguay Round. It is paralleled by the Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures which sets out the basic rules on how governments can apply food safety as well as animal and plant health measures without, however, using them as an excuse for protecting domestic producers. Prominent decisions under the WTO Dispute Settlement have interpreted those provisions. This volume gives a detailed account of the necessary parameters for technical standards and measures seeking to protect health and environment. Included are commentaries on Articles III, XI and XX of GATT 1994 which are equally relevant in this context. The article by article commentaries draw from a considerable body of case law, the work by the TBT and SPS Committee and the relevant legal literature. Attention is given to substantive requirements as well as the necessary standard setting procedures. Apart from a thorough analysis of the relevant and most recent jurisprudence including the Biotech Panel Report the commentary seeks to give answers to newly emerging issues, such as special needs of developing countries. It is an indispensable tool for practitioners and academics working in this field of WTO law.

The Standard of Review in WTO Dispute Settlement
Author: Ross Becroft
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 178100224X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
'Applying the proper standard of review has been a vexing issue for WTO panels and Members alike. As in national systems, the degree to which the reviewing body (here the panel) defers to the investigating authority is frequently controversial. Dr. Becroft has provided a thorough analysis of the WTO jurisprudence to date, identified the shortcomings of the present approach and offered a thoughtful series of recommendations for formulating a new and better standard of review.' David A. Gantz, The University of Arizona, US 'Ross Becroft has produced a solid monograph which adds to the existing literature on the correct standard of review to be applied by a WTO panel. Becroft's work is well-research and written and his analysis is straight-forward and comprehensive. His call for a new standard of review is well thought out, creative and feasible. Becroft's book is recommended reading for those interested in the workings and decision-making in WTO dispute settlement.' Bryan Mercurio, The Chinese University of Hong Kong 'This is an important book and should be considered to be on the required reading list of anyone professionally involved in dispute settlement at the WTO. The standard of review is at the core of the dispute settlement process and Ross Becroft has made a major contribution with his comprehensive and insightful analysis and suggestions for a new standard of review for the future.' Andrew Stoler, Executive Director, Institute for International Trade and former WTO Deputy Director-General This detailed book critiques how the World Trade Organization scrutinizes domestic measures to determine compliance with the WTO Agreements. This scrutiny, known as the standard of review, is particularly relevant when WTO panels are examining measures involving controversial domestic policy issues. The author argues that the current WTO standard of review is inadequate and a flexible standard based on the responsibilities that WTO members have retained for themselves under the WTO Agreements is preferable. This new standard of review would better reflect the autonomy contemplated for members under the WTO rules and reduce scope for the contention that the WTO overreaching its mandate. This work provides a foundation for mediating relations between states and the WTO, and similar international organisations. It will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners in the fields of law and international relations with an interest in international economic law, the WTO or international organisations in general.
