The study analyzes the role of information and education process in the evolution of the relations between growth of trade
volume as part of economic growth and environmental capital. Special attention is given to the interaction between trade policies
relevant to the environment and environmental measures producing significant trade effects. I considered during this study the
interdependence between the provisions contained in international trade agreements and all the taxes that are intended to protect
the environment. The timeliness of the European and global requirements has been emphasized with the purpose to protect the
environment with respect to product standards and technical regulations and requirements for packaging, labelling and recycling.
The topic referring to the need to adopt measures to increase transparency effect in the international trade system, to reduce
protectionism and environmental impact was also addressed. Moreover the environmental protection measures on access to
markets has been studied, giving special attention to developing countries and especially the least developed among them, by
comparing the environmental benefits and benefits resulting from elimination of trade restrictions in terms of accurate
information of consumers.
