ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY NON-PRODUCT RELATED PROCES...

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.
