A study of foodstuff export bans and restrictions under WTO/GATT

Cindy Whang, Wilson Almeida

Abstract

The WTO, derived from the GATT, is based on principles such as the Most Favored Nation and National Treatment, among others. There is also a tradition of evolving world trade by means of Rounds, mainly based on the reduction of tariffs. In the case of food, some authors and even authorities argue that there should be differentiated treatment because of the relevance they represent to people’s lives. This article deals with how the WTO in its processes treats food in particular.
