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 o...

Hoje, estão em vigor cerca de 350 acordos comerciais preferenciais, todos os membros da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) são partes pelo menos de um acordo comercial preferencial, existem acordos comerciais preferenciais em que as partes são elas próprias outros acordos comerciais preferenciais e muitos membros da OMC participam em vários acordos comerciais preferenciais ao mesmo tempo: em novembro de 2021, a União Europeia participava em 45 acordos comerciais preferenciais notificados à OMC, o Japão em 18, a China em 16 e os Estados Unidos em 14. Os acordos comerciais preferenciais são vistos também como a fonte mais importante de reforma da política comercial nos últimos 20 anos para a maioria dos países e associados cada vez mais a questões de segurança nacional e política externa.

Moreover, recently approved rules concerning the EU’s internal market, EU environmental law and EU data protection law have made it more difficult to define the application of EU law in ...
