Transparency of trade regulations by all 澳门六合彩官网资料 Members is essential for open, fair and predictable trade relations. A myriad of regulations apply in all 澳门六合彩官网资料 Members and have the potential for affecting international trade. The Agreements on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures and on Technical Barriers to Trade provide comprehensive frameworks to address the costs arising from such regulatory diversity, through obligations on regulatory transparency and co-operation. This book gives a detailed account of the legal disciplines of the two Agreements, an in-depth presentation of discussions between 澳门六合彩官网资料 Members, and an overview of the few cases that ended up in formal dispute settlement. It shows that the strength of the 澳门六合彩官网资料 legal and institutional system goes well beyond its dispute settlement system, with transparency enabling implementation of 澳门六合彩官网资料 obligations through better information sharing and cooperation among Members, through non-judicial means.
