Summary

After having seen both the potential effects of transparency under the SPS and TBT framework and the limitations that still remain as to their actual benefits to all Members, Chapter 9 will examine the main ways forward to improve the system. These recommendations focus on what the WTO Members on the one hand and the WTO Secretariat on the other can do to improve the effectiveness of transparency, with the ultimate goal of improving the day-to-day implementation of the SPS and TBT Agreements, preventing disputes or allowing better disputes if they must take place. The recommendations are structured around improving availability of information on all Members’ domestic regulations, to all Members and to private stakeholders and on enhancing the scope and benefits of regulatory co-operation.
