According to International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development claim that there has been one trade dispute within the WTO where several of these issues were adjudicated. The US complained in 2003 that the EU system of approval of biotech products was so slow that it amounted to a moratorium. In addition the US complained about “safeguard measures” taken by several member states to prohibit the importation and marketing of these products. It was joined in the case against the EU by Argentina and Canada.6Moreover,The other path is that of “precaution” based on the notion that scientific evidence is as yet inadequate to be certain of the long run impacts of GM products. This view considers that strict regulation of imports and mandatory labelling is needed and that restrictions on domestic production are warranted until the safety and environmental issues become clear. This latter strategy could survive WTO challenges if carefully designed but the regulations themselves would need to be consistent with the SPS and TBT Agreements.
