This book examines the interplay between cooperation on technical
barriers to trade (TBT) in free trade agreements and the
multilateral framework of the World Trade Organization. In recent
years, TBT, especially differences in standards, have attracted
increased interest and have been addressed as part of the WTO+
negotiated agenda in trade agreements. Because of a number of
political and legal constraints, the process of further cooperation
at the WTO have been stalled, which made free trade agreements a
central pillar in setting the agenda of international trade
governance. This leads us to rethinking the interrelation between
the WTO and free trade agreements and to questioning the role of
both fora in the future of trade. The book examines some TBT
provisions in free trade agreements and highlights their positive
and problematic aspects when it comes to the WTO-consistency and
the ideas of open and inclusive trade. It also suggests that a more
optimal way forward would be to increase parallel work on TBT
cooperation at the WTO, a more inclusive forum that could address
issues of global significance, such as environmental protection and
regulation of digital goods. The book explores the potential for
trade agreements to advance the WTO agenda, but notes that the
organization would need to adapt its institutional structure and
governance in order to do so. Drawing on the example of the EU and
US so-called “new generation” trade agreements, the book
provides a detailed analysis of the various methods used to
navigate TBT cooperation, and offers insight into how these
agreements can serve as inspiration for future multilateral
disciplines. This book is a valuable resource for trade law
academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection
of technical barriers to trade, regional trade agreements, and the
WTO.
