Incorporating Science, Economics, and Sociology in Developing Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standards in International Trade
- Share to:
As the world economy has moved toward more open trade under the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), there has been an increasing focus on managing potential conflicts between a country's right to take measures to protect its citizens, production systems, and environment (including plant and animal species) from risks and the effects of such protection on trade. In the area of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) regulations, the concern is that domestic regulations ostensibly designed as a means to protect plants, animals, or people may actually be used to protect domestic industries and interests. International standard-setting activities, the SPS Agreement of the Uruguay Round of GATT, and ongoing bilateral and multilateral negotiations are part of a process through which countries are attempting to manage conflicts between protective regulation in the SPS area and open trade.
