The legal interface between carbon border measures and trade rules

Tamiotti, Ludivine·2011·Climate Policy

Abstract

The development of climate policies has gained pace over the past two decades, and their scope and complexity have increased. It is therefore essential to better understand their key features in order to draw a clearer picture of their overall effect and potential impact on trade. WTO rules and case law that relate generally to environmental issues as well as other key disciplines are relevant to the examination of climate border measures: several core principles of the GATT, including the disciplines on tariffs, the general non-discrimination principle, and the general exceptions, as well as WTO disciplines on subsidies. WTO rules are explored for their relevance to climate-related border measures. For a possible justification of a trade restrictive measure, such as a border carbon adjustment, certain criteria need to be fulfilled with a view to avoiding an undue situation of green protectionism.

  • Analyses of the WTO compatibility of BCAs suggest that a BCA can in principle be designed and implemented in accordance with international trade law, but the details would matter and differ from the elegant theoretical solution with full symmetry.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
