| Trade Impact of European Measures on GMOs Condemned by the WTO Panel |
Anne-Célia Disdier
Lionel Fontagné |
|
| In May 2003, the United States, Canada and Argentina launched a World Trade Organization
(WTO) case against the European Union concerning its authorization regime for biotech
products. In November 2006, the WTO condemned this regime. Using a gravity equation, we
estimate the reduction in exports of potentially affected products from the complainants to the
European Union. Our results suggest that the European moratorium and product-specific
measures have a negative effect on trade, as do safeguard measures adopted by Germany,
Italy and Greece. |
