The national treatment obligation

.

Chapter 8 in The Law and Economics of International Trade Agreements, 2023, pp 193-218 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter considers the non-discrimination principle known as “national treatment,” which prohibits discrimination between imported and domestic goods. It lays out the scope of the obligation with respect to domestic taxation, regulation, and local content requirements. The concepts of “like products” and “directly competitive products” are set forth with their associated jurisprudence. The government procurement exception to the national procurement obligation is examined along with discussion of the plurilateral Government Procurement Agreement. Finally, the chapter addresses the principles governing the permissible use of “border tax adjustments,” which are important of late in relation to national carbon tax schemes.
