Abstract: Article 5.7 of the sps agreement of the wto seems to provide the only available framework for referring to the precautionary principle as a means of settling international disputes. Yet are we sure it provides the adequate tool for this purpose ? The present article shows there is no all-embracing answer to this question. Whereas important aspects of the precautionary principle are present in article 5.7, others are not. A discussion of the importance of the omitted features is presented. Classification JEL : F020, F130, K320, K330, Q170.
