La multiplicación de los estándares privados de sustentabilidade ¿Hay un rol para la OMC?
Voluntary sustainability standards are part of the new challenges faced by the multilateral trading system. Regulatory barriers to trade, especially technical barriers and sanitary and phytosanitary measures, apply to several sectors such as trade in services, investments, competition, environment, digital trade, intellectual property rights and anticorruption rules. Just few of them are under the scope of the WTO Agreements. ONGs and other private entities have also adopted standards of their own with an argument that they reflect consumer desires and demands for sustainability standards.
