Like products, animal welfare and the World Trade Organization

Article Abstract:

Consumers are increasingly seeking credence characteristics in the goods they buy and some production processes such as organic or animal welfare friendly systems can be successfully embedded in them. However when ethical considerations are involved, voluntary labeling may not be enough and in such cases a political response emerges such as a ban on unacceptable production as well as the consumption of the 'like products' in question, to confirm the credibility of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The Agreement on Safeguards: Proposals for change in the light of the EC steel safeguards

Article Abstract:

The popular trade policy tool of imposing safeguards under the terms of the 1995 Agreement of Safeguards (ASG) has often been misapplied as is seen from various cases brought before dispute settlement, and a reexamination of the ASG is deemed necessary. The European Community (EC) safeguards against steel are used as a case study in order to note the areas where the ASG can be improved.
