The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement covers international commerce in goods and services including measures that directly affect trade, such as import tariffs and quotas, and almost any type of internal measure with an impact on trade. Legal and Economic Principles of World Trade Law contributes to the analysis of the texts of World Trade Law in law and economics, reporting work done to identify improvements to the interpretation of the Agreement. It starts with background studies, the first summarizes The Genesis of the GATT, which highlights the negotiating history of the GATT 1947-8; the second introduces the economics of trade agreements. These are followed by two main studies. The first, authored by Bagwell, Staiger and Sykes, discusses legal and economic aspects of the GATT regulation of border policy instruments, such as import tariffs and import quotas. The second, written by Grossman, Horn and Mavroidis, focuses on the core provision for the regulation of domestic policy instruments - the National Treatment principles in Art. III GATT

This edited collection brings together an impressive array of authors from the world of international trade, the environment and public health. Each of them is eminently well-placed to bring their own particular expertise to bear on the issue at hand, and to do so in a knowledgeable and stimulating manner. This Research Handbook is a must for anyone interested in these overlapping fields of law and policy whether as a basis for learning or as a resource for further research. Mary Footer, University of Nottingham School of Law, UKThis fantastic collection of essays explores the multiple intersections between trade and environment in the WTO. The contributions by leading scholars are theoretically engaged whilst practical in their focus. It is a "must read" for those concerned to ensure that trade liberalisation does not stand in the way of sustainable development, including urgently needed action to mitigate the risks and consequences of climate change. Joanne Scott, University College London, UKGeert Van Calster and Denise Prévost have managed to induce virtually all the great experts on health, environment and WTO law to contribute to their Research Handbook on these subjects. The result is undoubtedly an excellent volume that should adorn the bookcase of any and all interested in the important problem of the relation between international rule-making and regulatory autonomy of states in this area of international economic law. Pieter Jan Kuijper, University of Amsterdam, The NetherlandsThis Handbook provides state-of-the-art analysis by leading authors on the links between the international trade regime and health and environment concerns concerns that make up an increasing proportion of WTO dispute settlement.Research Handbook on Environment, Health and the WTO surveys fields as diverse as climate change mitigation, non-communicable diseases, nanotechnology and public health care. The volume brings to the fore the debates and complexities surrounding these issues and their implications for the international trading system.The Handbook begins in Part I with a survey of general issues that sets a context for the more specific sectorial studies. Part II considers the most pressing issues within health regulation and trade law, whilst Part III is devoted to environmental regulation and its interface with trade law. Part IV looks specifically at aspects of the dispute settlement process and in particular standard of review, and the book concludes in Part V with a consideration of the impact of trade measures on the health and environment regimes of emerging economies.This comprehensive yet concise Handbook will appeal to academics and researchers in international trade law and environmental law, as well as trade law practitioners

Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Vereinbarkeit von nationalen Instrumenten zur Förderung der Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien mit dem Recht der Welthandelsorganisation (WTO). Zur Förderung der Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien führen Staaten häufig entweder sogenannte Einspeisevergütungssysteme (wie das deutsche Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz) oder sogenannten Quotenmodelle mit Zertifikatehandel ein. Durch die Fördersysteme wird dabei in der Regel nur die nationale Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien gefördert. Ausländische Stromerzeuger werden dadurch benachteiligt, dass sie von einer Förderung unabhängig davon ausgeschlossen werden, ob sie Strom aus konventionellen Energieträgern (Graustrom) oder aus erneuerbaren Energien (Grünstrom) erzeugen. Im Rahmen der Arbeit wird insbesondere untersucht, ob rein nationale Fördersysteme mit dem WTO-Recht vereinbar sind. Thematisiert werden zudem die Vorgaben des WTO-Rechts für die Regulierung von Finanzdienstleistungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Handel von Grünstromzertifikaten

In der WTO und in der EU bestehen Ausnahmebestimmungen zur Rechtfertigung von legitimen Schutzzielen im Warenhandel. Diese machen es schwierig, die jeweilige Zielvorstellung, die Verwirklichung des Binnenmarktes bzw. eines liberalisierten Warenhandels, zu realisieren. Wie auf beiden Ebenen mit diesen ähnlichen Problemen und Aufgaben umgegangen wird, wird in dieser Arbeit untersucht. Dafür werden zunächst die jeweiligen Bestimmungen, die Handelshemmnisse abbauen sollen, verglichen. Anschließend werden die Ausnahmebestimmungen in beiden Rechtsordnungen einander gegenübergestellt. Dabei werden die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede thematisiert und Erklärungsversuche unternommen. Abschließend werden aus dem Vergleich der beiden Systeme rechtspolitische Forderungen aufgestellt, die zu einer Effektivierung des Schutzes bestimmter überragend wichtiger legitimer Schutzziele führen würden. Ausnahmebestimmungen im Warenhandel zur Rechtfertigung legitimer Schutzziele erschweren den Austausch von Waren und können für protektionistische Maßnahmen missbraucht werden. Diese Arbeit untersucht, wie jeweils WTO und EU die Abwägung zwischen Warenhandel und der Gewährleistung legitimer Schutzziele treffen und legt die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede dar. Auch werden Möglichkeiten zu einer Effektivierung des Schutzes bestimmter überragend wichtiger legitimer Schutzziele vorgeschlagen. Nach Abitur und Zivildienst in der Hamburger Bahnhofsmission studierte Tim Stoberock Jura an der Universität Hamburg und in Aix-en-Provence. Nach dem ersten Staatsexamen 2004 absolvierte er ein LL.M.-Studiengang in Durham. Im Anschluss an das Referendariat in Hamburg und Phnom Penh war er ein Jahr lang neben der Promotion in einer größeren Sozietät und an der Bucerius Law School tätig. Seit 2009 ist er Staatsanwalt. Nach einem Jahr als Amtsrichter bearbeitet er nunmehr besonders umfangreiche Wirtschaftsstrafverfahren.

This book explores the ill-defined and oft-underestimated relationship between the World Trade Organization (WTO) and taxation. By adopting a two-pronged approach, the relationship is examined in terms of the extent to which the WTO legal framework exerts influence upon domestic tax law and international tax policy, and whether it is appropriate for the WTO to play a regulatory role in the field of taxation. The book begins with an examination of the historical development of international trade law and international tax law, and demonstrates that these two separate areas of law are closely linked in terms of their underlying principles and historical evolution. The work then goes on to offer a doctrinal analysis of the tax content found in the WTO legal texts and highlights ambiguities therein

A relatively new frontier for legal and policy analysis, technical barriers to trade (TBT's) have become more common as traditional border barriers have been reduced. This comprehensive Handbook comprises original essays by eminent trade scholars exploring the implications of the WTO's TBT Agreement. The TBT Agreement imposes disciplines on the manner in which WTO member countries adopt and maintain technical measures, recognizing the importance of such measures to advance legitimate domestic policy goals such as health, safety and environmental objectives, but also the potential for technical
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is often accused of, at best, not paying enough attention to human rights or, at worst, facilitating and perpetuating human rights abuses. This book weighs these criticisms and examines their validity, incorporating legal arguments as well as some economic and political science perspectives. After introducing the respective WTO and human rights regimes, and discussing their legal and normative relationship to each other, the book presents a detailed analysis of the main human rights concerns relating to the WTO. These include the alleged democratic deficit within the Organization and the impact of WTO rules on the right to health, labour rights, the right to food, and on questions of poverty and development. Given that some of the most important issues within the WTO concern its impact on poor people within developing States, the book asks whether rich States have an obligation to the people of poorer States to construct a fairer trading system that better facilitates the alleviation of poverty and development. Against this background, the book examines the current Doha round proposals as well as suggestions for reform of the WTO to make it more 'human rights-friendly'
