Haste Makes E-Waste: A Comparative Analysis Of How The United States Should Approach The Growing E-Waste Threat, Phoenix Pak Apr 2008

Haste Makes E-Waste: A Comparative Analysis Of How The United States Should Approach The Growing E-Waste Threat, Phoenix Pak

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the global e-waste crisis, focusing on the regulatory frameworks in the European Union, United States, and Japan. It critiques the effectiveness of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) models and highlights the challenges of enforcing e-waste policies across jurisdictions. The author argues for a balanced approach in U.S. policy, combining elements of the EU’s EPR framework with considerations for domestic and international implications to address the environmental and health risks posed by e-waste.


Using Ethanol As A Fuel To Reenergize Free Trade Area Of The Americas Negotiations, Marcel De Armas Feb 2007

Using Ethanol As A Fuel To Reenergize Free Trade Area Of The Americas Negotiations, Marcel De Armas

ExpressO

Currently the United States imposes a 2.5 percent ad valorem tax along with a 14.27 cents per liter tax on imported ethanol from countries with normal trade relations under the harmonized tariff schedule. However, the United States exempts many countries from this tariff or reduces the tariff under various free trade agreements or initiatives. The issues that resulted in Doha’s failure also caused FTAA negotiations to temporarily stall since both Brazil and the United States wanted certain FTAA issues negotiated at the WTO level. The United States could initiate this process with a discussion of reducing or eliminating its ethanol …


Mission Possible: Reciprocal Deference Between Domestic Regulatory Structures And The Wto, Elizabeth Trujillo Jan 2007

Mission Possible: Reciprocal Deference Between Domestic Regulatory Structures And The Wto, Elizabeth Trujillo

Faculty Scholarship

One of the goals of Article III of GATT is to invalidate domestic regulatory measures, including taxes and non-fiscal policies that amount to non-tariff barriers to trade (NTB) and therefore violate the principles of national treatment. While internal policies that directly discriminate between products based on nationality or origin are clearly in violation of national treatment principles, it is the facially neutral regulatory measures with protectionist and discriminatory effects that are more difficult to assess, even within transparent regulatory processes. However, with their emphasis on the likeness of the products in question, WTO panels run the risk of alienating member …


European Union Food Law Update, Nicole Coutrelis Dec 2006

European Union Food Law Update, Nicole Coutrelis

Journal of Food Law & Policy

On March 31, 2006, the European Commission published Council Regulation (EC) No. 510/2006 On the Protection of Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin for Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs. This new regulation repealed Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2081/92 On the Protection of Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin for Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs mainly to bring Community law into conformity with the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements and the findings of a recent WTO panel. Under the new Regulation, persons in third countries (non-European Union members) are entitled to address applications for the protection of geographic names and statements of objection …


A Complete Property Right Amendment, John H. Ryskamp Oct 2006

A Complete Property Right Amendment, John H. Ryskamp

ExpressO

The trend of the eminent domain reform and "Kelo plus" initiatives is toward a comprehensive Constitutional property right incorporating the elements of level of review, nature of government action, and extent of compensation. This article contains a draft amendment which reflects these concerns.

General Exclusion Orders Under Section 337, Gary M. Hnath Jan 2005

General Exclusion Orders Under Section 337, Gary M. Hnath

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Your company, Widgets Unlimited, imports foreign-made widgets into the United States. One day, you're informed that U.S. Customs & Border Protection (Customs) has detained your goods and is determining whether they infringe a patent owned by The American Widget Corporation, based on an exclusion order issued by the International Trade Commission (ITC) after a recent ITC investigation, titled Certain Widgets with Extra Shiny Surfaces. Since you were never a party to any proceeding at the ITC, and indeed, you never even knew American Widget had patents on its widgets, you conclude that there must be some mistake and wait for …


Uberregulation Without Economics: The World Trade Organization's Decision In The U.S.-Mexico Arbitration On Telecommunications Services, General Agreement On Trade In Services, Gats, J. Gregory Sidak, Hal J. Singer Dec 2004

Uberregulation Without Economics: The World Trade Organization's Decision In The U.S.-Mexico Arbitration On Telecommunications Services, General Agreement On Trade In Services, Gats, J. Gregory Sidak, Hal J. Singer

Federal Communications Law Journal

In April 2004, a World Trade Organization ("WTO") arbitration panel found that Mexico had violated its commitments under the Annex on Telecommunications to the General Agreement on Trade in Services ("GATS") by failing to ensure that Telmex, Mexico's largest supplier of basic telecommunications services, provide interconnection to U.S. telecommunications carriers at international settlement rates that were costoriented. The WTO panel deemed long run average incremental cost ("LRAIC") to be the appropriate cost standard for setting settlement rates. Mexico thus became obliged to change its domestic telecommunications regulations or face trade sanctions. The decision is the first WTO arbitration to deal …


Foreign Policy And Separation Of Powers Jurisprudence: Executive Orders Regarding Export Administration Act Extension In Times Of Lapse As A Political Question, Themes Karalis Jul 2004

Foreign Policy And Separation Of Powers Jurisprudence: Executive Orders Regarding Export Administration Act Extension In Times Of Lapse As A Political Question, Themes Karalis

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the interplay between the Export Administration Act (EAA) and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), particularly focusing on whether the EAA qualifies as an Exemption 3 statute under FOIA. It explores how courts have upheld the EAA's exemption status even during periods of lapse, emphasizing the executive branch's authority to maintain export controls through executive orders. The analysis highlights the deference given to the executive in foreign policy matters and the challenges posed by the EAA's temporary nature, suggesting that Congress should consider amending the EAA for automatic renewal to avoid recurring issues.

Interpreting Urugual Round Agreements Act Section 102(B)'S Safeguards For State Sovereignty: Reconciling Judicial Independence With The United States Trade Representative's Policy Expertise, Brandon Johnson Jan 2001

Interpreting Urugual Round Agreements Act Section 102(B)'S Safeguards For State Sovereignty: Reconciling Judicial Independence With The United States Trade Representative's Policy Expertise, Brandon Johnson

Michigan Journal of International Law

In this Note, I address the concerns of one aspect of this academic commentary-the claim that the WTO Agreement may cause a tectonic shift in domestic regulatory power, away from the states and toward the federal government and/or the WTO. I argue that while the concerns about the loss of national sovereignty are exaggerated, there is a very real threat to the sovereignty of the States. Congress was aware of this danger and included a variety of provisions designed specifically to protect state sovereignty from federal encroachment in the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), the federal legislation incorporating the WTO …

Executive-Branch Rulemaking And Dispute Settlement In The World Trade Organization: A Proposal To Increase Public Participation, Aubry D. Smith Mar 1996

Executive-Branch Rulemaking And Dispute Settlement In The World Trade Organization: A Proposal To Increase Public Participation, Aubry D. Smith

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that, because the Executive Branch increasingly will be promulgating domestic regulatory rules intended to comply with the rules of the world-trading system, it is necessary to increase formal oversight of the Executive Branch's role in that context. Part I argues that the United States' participation in the WTO implies a substantial increase in the impact of foreign policy on domestic policy. Part II points out a loophole in Congress's attempt to compensate for this increase by installing various devices to ensure political oversight of the Executive: the Executive Branch is subject, under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act …


Ec Customs Classification Rules: Should Ice Cream Melt?, Edwin A. Vermulst Jan 1994

Ec Customs Classification Rules: Should Ice Cream Melt?, Edwin A. Vermulst

Michigan Journal of International Law

This Article will demonstrate that these classification conflicts seldom have definitive solutions by examining European Community (EC or Community) classification rules in light of the international framework. This approach is justified because the EC's customs classification system, centered on the Combined Nomenclature (CN), is based on the most commonly used international system of classification, the Harmonized System (HS).

Hidden Agenda: The Expansion Of Product Scope In International Trade Proceedings, Timothy A. Harr Jan 1987

Hidden Agenda: The Expansion Of Product Scope In International Trade Proceedings, Timothy A. Harr

Michigan Journal of International Law

Part II of this Article examines current legal standards. It concludes that U.S. product scope rulings are nominally made pursuant to a set of objective legal/factual standards, but that because of the breadth of these standards, the Commerce Department has considerable discretion in making such decisions. Part III examines recent Commerce Department product scope rulings, which highlights a policy goal of prevention of evasion by foreign suppliers. The Department, which technically has no authority to expand the product scope and no formal authority to consider evasion, is uncomfortable with this current situation. This has caused the Administration to propose amendments …

Gilmore: An Antidumping Proceeding As Cost-Price Comparison, Fred A. Rodriguez Jan 1979

Gilmore: An Antidumping Proceeding As Cost-Price Comparison, Fred A. Rodriguez

Michigan Journal of International Law

In the usual dumping case, a producer sells his product abroad at prices lower than those at which the same product is sold in the domestic market (country of origin). But dumping is also possible in other circumstances. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (hereinafter GATT) and the Antidumping Code (hereinafter the Code) recognize dumping where, in the absence of a domestic price, the price in the export market is lower than the price for a comparable product in a third country market. If neither a domestic nor a third country price is available, these international agreements provide that …


The Standard Of Injury In The Resolution Of Antidumping Disputes, Edward J. Krauland Jan 1979

The Standard Of Injury In The Resolution Of Antidumping Disputes, Edward J. Krauland

Michigan Journal of International Law

When a private party files a dumping complaint, the Antidumping Act of 1921 provides a two-step procedure for examining an alleged infraction by a foreign exporter. First, the Department of the Treasury must determine if imports are being marketed within the United States at less than fair value (hereinafter LTFV). If Treasury makes an affirmative determination, the International Trade Commission (ITC) must then determine if a United States industry is being injured, is likely to be injured, or is prevented from being established by reason of the LTFV sales. If any of these forms of injury is found, an antidumping …


Proposals For Change In The Administration Of The Antidumping Act, Stephen L. Gibson Jan 1979

Proposals For Change In The Administration Of The Antidumping Act, Stephen L. Gibson

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article suggests changes that might be made in the administration of the existing Act to improve the efficiency of investigations and the fairness of determinations under the Act in its present form. Most of these suggestions are addressed to the Treasury Department's fair value investigation, with only a few comments on the International Trade Commission injury investigation phase. The ITC has developed a framework for injury investigations that appears generally to be both workable and acceptable to interested parties. Treasury's fair value investigation, on the other hand, has tended to be more controversial. This stems in part from the …

Self-Regulation-Panacea Or Pitfall?, William D. Dixon Jan 1968

Self-Regulation-Panacea Or Pitfall?, William D. Dixon

University of Richmond Law Review

Several recently announced Federal Trade Commission advisory opinions have revived anew the controversy surrounding what a businessman can and cannot do in the area of self-regulation. The reasons for the existence of the controversy can be readily understood, for on the one hand businessmen are being constantly urged by those within the federal government to clean their own houses before the Government is forced to do the job for them, and yet on the other they are faced with the specter of an antitrust prosecution if they do anything toward that end which they feel will be in any way …
