Abstract

In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the impact of technical measures, and in particular sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) regulations and standards, on trade in agricultural and food products. With the progressive dismantling of formal barriers to trade through international trade negotiations at both the bilateral and multilateral levels, analysts have focused in on other measures that have the potential to impede trade. Simultaneously, our understanding of the manner in which technical measures can influence trade has improved.
