Book Synopsis Environmental Process and Production Methods (PPMs) in WTO Law by : David Sifonios
Download or read book Environmental Process and Production Methods (PPMs) in WTO Law written by David Sifonios and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the conditions under which PPM measures may be adopted under WTO law de lege lata and de lege ferenda. It analyses in detail the complex case law in this field and its evolution in the last 25 years, as well as the many doctrinal debates around PPM measures and their relevance in the light of the evolution of case law, both under the GATT and the TBT Agreement. Further, it also suggests an original approach to the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the GATT and the TBT Agreement in the context of PPM measures. The PPM issue has been one of the most debated topics in the trade and environment debate. Even though the US–Shrimp case showed that PPM measures are not prohibited per se under the GATT, many questions remain unanswered when it comes to the precise conditions under which environmental PPM measures are justifiable under WTO law, for example in the field of trade measures relating to climate change mitigation efforts, natural resources management policies and biodiversity conservation measures.
Book Synopsis Processes and Production Methods (PPMs) in WTO Law by : Christiane R. Conrad
Download or read book Processes and Production Methods (PPMs) in WTO Law written by Christiane R. Conrad and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a decades-long debate, starting with the 'Tuna-Dolphin' disputes of the 1990s, questions on the status of national regulatory measures linked to processes and production methods in WTO law have yet remained unsolved. Likewise, labelling requirements relating to unincorporated aspects of a product's life cycle remain strongly contested. These ongoing disputes at the WTO as well as global social and environmental challenges related to economic activities show how topical and important the search for adequate answers still is. Processes and Production Methods (PPMs) in WTO Law identifies and comprehensively analyses the key legal problems concerning such measures, setting them in the context of the current debate and its economic and regulatory background. Christiane R. Conrad develops a new approach to this debate which draws on the objectives and established economic rationales of the WTO Agreements.
Book Synopsis Environmental Policy, Non-Product Related Process and Production Methods and the Law of the World Trade Organization by : Amber Rose Maggio
Download or read book Environmental Policy, Non-Product Related Process and Production Methods and the Law of the World Trade Organization written by Amber Rose Maggio and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the legal regime of non-product related process and production methods (NPR PPMs) in the context of trade-restrictive environmental measures, eco-labelling requirements and sanitary measures under the WTO. These issues serve as concrete, representative examples that raise broader questions about the legitimacy of the WTO dispute settlement system and help to explore the true position of WTO members in this complex legal regime. NPR PPMs are process and production methods that do not affect the product as such, meaning that there is no discernible difference in two products with different NPR PPMs. This work examines WTO states’ attempts to regulate in this regard and create product distinctions on the basis of NPR PPMs. To do so, it scrutinizes historical, institutional, substantive and case-law issues related to NPR PPMs, environmental policy and the WTO. Further, the book addresses the issues of legitimacy, regulatory space and reform, contributing to the lively debate on the future of the WTO.

Book excerpt: Despite a decades-long debate, starting with the 'Tuna-Dolphin' disputes of the 1990s, questions on the status of national regulatory measures linked to processes and production methods in WTO law have yet remained unsolved. Likewise, labelling requirements relating to unincorporated aspects of a product's life cycle remain strongly contested.

Book Synopsis Global Environmental Protection through Trade by : Barbara Cooreman
Download or read book Global Environmental Protection through Trade written by Barbara Cooreman and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite an increasing global awareness of environmental concerns, setting internationally binding and ambitious commitments has proven exceedingly complex. As states are seeking alternative methods to support global environmental protection, this book takes a closer look at the possibility of using national trade measures that make market access conditional on the environmental impact of the production process abroad.
Book Synopsis Eco-Taxes and the WTO by : Sang Hyuck Lee
Download or read book Eco-Taxes and the WTO written by Sang Hyuck Lee and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to conduct a legal reasoning on eco-taxes in the WTO, as a way to find solutions-short-term and long-term ones-for environmental problems, especially focusing on those from pollution-causing processes and production methods (PPMs). More fundamentally, it can contribute to a potential transformation of the WTO into a true regime for "sustainable development," which is stipulated as an objective of the WTO in the Preamble to the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO Agreement). The term "sustainable development" means "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." In other words, this concept may be simply understood as a compromise or sustainability between economic development and environmental protection, or between free trade and the environment. Throughout this book, all the legal analysis and reasoning lead to a conclusion that a 'relevant and considerate' imposition of eco-taxes, especially those to address pollution-causing PPMs, can contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and environmental protection under the 'current' WTO system. The meaning of being 'relevant and considerate' will be elaborated through the analysis of the relevant provisions of the WTO Agreements and the Panel and Appellate Body reports concerned. Also, the meaning of being 'current' will be clarified by categorizing the solutions into short-term and long-term ones.

Book excerpt: WTO, Animals & PPMs offers a new analytical framework for GATT Article XX, which inter alia clarifies the legal and analytical problems attached to non-product related PPMs. The text covers the barriers countries can enact to protect animals (as animal welfare- or biodiversity protection) in the course of trade and their consistency with the WTO rules. The analyses are, however, also useful for a broader range of environmental and moral topics.

Book Synopsis Trade and the Environment by : Erich Vranes
Download or read book Trade and the Environment written by Erich Vranes and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relevance of the WTO legal system for environmental protection is a central topic in general international law, WTO law and international environmental law. The relationship between WTO law and international and domestic efforts to protect the environment has moved to centre stage in WTO and international environmental law. It has also spurred the discussion on fragmentation in international law in recent years. This book analyzes these issues by examining the 'horizontal' interaction between WTO law and 'other' international law, the 'vertical' relationship between WTO law and domestic law, and the contents and the interrelations between fundamental provisions of WTO law. This study relies on established insights from legal theory in order to achieve greater clarity in legal argumentation. The main results of this analysis are applied to two topical instances of international regime interplay, namely the relevance of WTO law for international and domestic measures protecting the earth's climate and the ozone layer. A series of controversial topics in WTO and general international law are addressed in this book, including the notion of conflicts of norms, and the resolution of conflicts of norms; the role of international law in WTO proceedings; extraterritorial jurisdiction and unilateral trade measures; proportionality and balancing of interests in international and WTO law; the core disciplines of the GATT and the TBT Agreement; process and production-based measures (PPMs) in WTO law; climate protection, protection of the ozone layer, and WTO disciplines.
Book Synopsis Environment and Trade by : Nathalie Bernasconi-Osterwalder
Download or read book Environment and Trade written by Nathalie Bernasconi-Osterwalder and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International trade rules have significant impacts on environmental law and policy, at the domestic, regional and global levels. At the World Trade Organization (WTO), dispute settlement tribunals are increasingly called to decide on environment- and health-related questions. Can governments treat products differently based on environmental considerations? Can they block the import of highly carcinogenic asbestos-containing products or genetically modified crops? Does the WTO allow governments to protect dolphins or endangered sea turtles through the use of import restrictions on certain products? How can civil society participate in WTO dispute settlement? This Guide, authored by five world leaders on international environmental and trade law at the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), is an accessible, comprehensive, one-of-a-kind compendium of environment and trade jurisprudence under the WTO. Providing an overview for both experts and non-experts of the major themes relevant to environment and trade, it also analyses how WTO tribunals have approached these themes in concrete disputes and provides selected excerpts of the most significant cases.
Book Synopsis The pursuit of sustainable agriculture in EU free trade agreements by : Luchino Ferraris
Download or read book The pursuit of sustainable agriculture in EU free trade agreements written by Luchino Ferraris and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the extent to which EU Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) pursue sustainable agriculture in third country parties. It contends that this should be part of a duty for the EU enshrined in the Treaties to promote its fundamental values in its external action. It suggests that the extent to which this occurs in practice, may be reviewed judicially by the Court of Justice of the European Union. Against this background, selected agreements concluded by the EU with developed and developing countries (Canada, South Korea, Ukraine, Chile, SADC countries and Vietnam) are taken as case studies. The author concludes that, in spite of the remarkable progress made hitherto, EU trade policy is still far from being in line with the increasingly strong commitment of the EU to take the lead in the international arena for environmental and climate matters. This work adopts primarily a legal methodology, but it broaches the subject in interdisciplinary terms. It is addressed not only to (EU) policy-makers, but also to scholars of different fields and to the wider public interested in topics that have become of common concern for the future of our planet. With a foreword by Daniel Calleja Crespo, Director General of the European Commission - DG Environment
