Creating Wto Law By Stealth: Gsp Conditionalities And The Ec – Tariff Preferences Case, Alex Ansong Oct 2013

Creating Wto Law By Stealth: Gsp Conditionalities And The Ec – Tariff Preferences Case, Alex Ansong

Alex Ansong

The WTO is witnessing an increasing intrusion of its remit into areas that hitherto were the preserve of the state. This makes the legitimacy of its law creation process critical. The article engages in analyses of the conditionalities in developed countries’ Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) schemes, notably those of the EU.

The analyses centre on the Appellate Body decision in the EC – Tariff Preferences case.
