Technical Barriers to Trade

Brian McDonald

Chapter 13 in The World Trading System, 1998, pp 116-123 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The agreement on technical barriers to trade, reached in the Uruguay Round, is a revised and improved version of the agreement established by the Tokyo Round. The WTO agreement on this subject uses the word ‘standard’ to refer to voluntary standards. Mandatory standards imposed by law are referred to as ‘technical regulations’. For simplicity’s sake this text will refer to standards throughout as a generic term covering both.
