Multilateral trade agreements and U.S. states: an analysis of potential GATT Uruguay Round agreements
Article Abstract:
The possible conclusion of the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations will mean several significant changes for state governments within the US as well as between the US and the rest of the world. These changes will require a greater degree of consultation between state and federal authorities. Some of the changes which have been tentatively agreed on are the methods of dispute settlement, treatment of trade barriers, sanitary and phytosanitary standards, treatment of subsidies and trade in services. Other potential changes include rules about procurement, investment and resource management.

An analysis of the proposed subsidies code procedures in the "Dunkel Text" of the GATT Uruguay Round: the Canadian exporter's case
Article Abstract:
The GATT Subsidies Code provisions in the Dunkel Text may benefit some countries through clearer definitions of trade rights and terms, but the Text will not ease many of the concerns centered around countervailing duties. The ambiguity that still remains is sufficient to allow some countries to use unfair trade practices. Protectionism may or may not be lessened as the Text has the ability to block certain trade practices, but is not able to control new trade channels that may arise due to its implementation. A detailed analysis of the pros and cons of the Dunkel Text is included.

GATT customs union provisions and the Uruguay Round: the European Community experience
Article Abstract:
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) rules of customs unions in Article XXIV should be clarified during the Uruguay Round. The creation of multinational trading blocs, in particular the EEC, is at odds with GATT's principle of unconditional most-favored-nation status for GATT signatories. Customs unions are allowed for under Article XXIV. However, the EEC, with its sweeping environmental, macroeconomic and political ramifications, is now more than a customs union. Clarification of Article XXIV would help discourage excessive favoritism within economic blocs.
