Download the 2008 Supplement A 2008 Supplement will be available online in September. Since 1991, when a panel of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) found that U.S. import restrictions on tuna from countries with high dolphin mortality violated GATT's trade rules, an entire field of law has emerged called "Trade and the Environment." This book provides a thorough and balanced assessment of this developing area of law that affects consumer, regulatory and trade policy choices for governments around the world. It encompasses trade agreements and the evolving jurisprudence, from the 1991 tuna-dolphin case up to actions on agricultural subsidies in late 2004. This book is designed to teach students with no prior background in trade law or environmental law. It is also designed to be equally accessible to students and professors from civil law as well as common law jurisdictions. Opening chapters present key trade and environmental policy theories and concepts, and introduce the structure of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its process for adjudicating trade disputes. Substantive chapters comprehensively assess the GATT's core obligations and the "general exceptions" to those obligations for certain types of environmental measures. WTO agreements such as the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, the Agreement on Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and the Agreement on Agriculture are covered. There are substantial excerpts from decisions in the key trade-environment disputes, including the famous cases addressing protection of sea turtles in shrimp fisheries, growth hormones and risk assessment, natural resource and agricultural subsidies, and bans on the use of asbestos. Unresolved issues such as ecolabels and genetically modified foods and the legal status of trade measures in multilateral environmental agreements are also discussed. In addition, the book has a chapter on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its environmental side agreement, including investment provisions and investor-State arbitration. Throughout, the book presents policy arguments about the connections between trade and environmental protection and the linkage with broader concerns about sustainable development and the economic and environmental prospects for developing countries. It also considers the work of international institutions created to address these connections and the role of public participation in both disputes and trade agreement negotiations. Because the complexity of trade and environment issues often obscures the real significance of the decisions, a special feature of this book is extensive background material and commentary and numerous "Questions and Discussion" points. These features are designed to make trade policy and trade jurisprudence accessible to teachers and students alike.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Trade / Anti Trust Law / Business Law, grade: 18 Punkte, University of Lausanne, language: English, abstract: The World Trade Organization, established in 1994 by the Marrakesh Agreement, is often regarded as being detrimental to the efforts of national states in setting up new environmental protection regulations. Additionally, the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is often criticized for considering environmental protection measures as trade barriers and not being justified under the law of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) e.g. in its famous Tuna - Dolphin cases. On the other hand, the preamble of the WTO Agreements acknowledges that the expansion of production and trade has to permit "the optimal use of the world's resources in accordance with the objective of sustainable development, seeking both to protect and preserve the environment". Therefore, it is considered that the objective of the WTO is to establish an equilibrium between free trade and environmental protection. The first section, contains a brief overview of the general procedure of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, namely the adjudication of a claim by Panels and the Appellate Body and the implementation of the rulings by the Member States. The second part will be an analysis of the findings and rulings of the panels and Appellate Body of the following cases: United States - Standards for Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline, United States - Import Prohibition of Certain Shrimp and Shrimp Products, European Communities - Measures Affecting Asbestos and Products Containing Asbestos, Brazil - Measures Affecting Imports of Retreaded Tyres and China - Measures Related to the Exportation of Various Raw Materials to determine whether there has been a development towards more environmental protection. The main focus lies in the interpretation and development of Art. XX of GATT and its use to jus

The theoretical claims for eco-tariffs are rigorously analyzed within a unified framework formed of an international trade model enriched with both a domestic and a global externality. During the course of the analysis the model is modified to analyze an array of contexts for which eco-tariffs have been claimed to improve environmental quality or welfare. The circumstances and conditions are characterised under which such tariffs can be shown to improve environmental quality and social welfare, taking account of general equilibrium effects. The theoretical results are applied in a policy analysis of eco-tariffs and other trade instruments in the context of domestic and global environmental policy in order to assess the relevance of the eco-tariffs that have been subjected to the theoretical analysis. Finally, the GATT/WTO rules and regulations are presented, since to date these have banned the use of eco-tariffs. The rules and regulations are mapped against the theoretical results to show which rules ought to be changed.

Trade and the Environment is an important primer for anyone concerned with the impact of trade agreements on the global environment. After examining some of the broader aspects of the debate, the book turns to specific concerns: When is it appropriate for one country to use trade measures to influence industrial behavior in another country? How are international environmental standards set? When are low environmental standards in one country a subsidy to that country's industries? With chapters representing the views of industrial leaders, trade advocates, environmentalists, international organizations, and policymakers from both the developed and developing world, Trade and the Environment provides insight into the full spectrum of issues, concerns, and parties involved in this critical debate.

In the Bretton Woods era, trade liberalization, the improvement of labour rights and working conditions, and the strengthening of environmental policies, were seen as mutually supportive. But is this always true? Can we continue to pretend to protect the rights of workers and to improve environmental protection, particularly through climate change mitigation strategies, within an agenda focused on trade liberalization? Is it credible to pursue trade policies that aim to expand the volumes of trade, without linking such policies to labour and environmental standards, seen as 'non-trade' concerns? This book asks these questions, offering a detailed analysis of whether linkage is desirable and legally acceptable under the disciplines of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It concludes that trade can work for sustainable development, but only if we see it as a means for social and environmental progress, including climate change mitigation, and if we avoid fetichizing it as an end to be pursued for its own sake.
