Panel ruled that, because the United States to other countries also implemented such a measure can not be identified as tuna products to Canada unreasonable discrimination. [12] Here, the assessment of whether a measure is Similarly, to determine whether a measure constitutes a In the Understanding – to include in the general exceptions listed in article 20 under the cover of the international trade reached a level of arbitrary and unjustifiable discrimination of all kinds of restrictive measures. … … the fundamental goal is to prevent the general exception of Article 20 of the1 of GATT Article 20 Introduction of understanding Ⅰ History – —— trade and the prevention and control of infectious diseasesKeywords: multilateral trading system; pubic health; PS agreement beef hormones case; cientific evidence and isk assessment principleAll School economists were convinced that free trade than trade protection well.? Since Adam Smith in 1947 employment opportunities, and thus the economic development of countries in the world as a whole. However, as economic historian Paul? Baroque (Paul Bairoch) pointed out, when the liberal dominated academic theory, when the reality theory dominant in the political sphere, trade restrictions has been a general feature of the world economy. [①] reasons for this situation are many, including the impact of devaluation of mercantilism. In addition, we should also recognize that, even Adam Smith? He also admitted on the values?? of free trade between countries there are some exceptions. In some cases, countries will not pursue the goal of maximizing the achievement of material wealth, such as distributive justice, antitrust, natural resources conservation, and their nationals the protection of life and health and safety and so on. (a)) was established in 1947, when 23 countries signed the agreement, which aims to promote trade liberalism, to avoid prevailing in the 19th century, early 20th century economic nationalism and trade war after the war to reproduce. GATT non-discrimination principle is the core of the multilateral trading system and the most important principle, but also GATT as a multilateral trading system to exist and to play in the post-war international trade a cornerstone of its functions. Human history as a global multilateral trade agreements, the GATT on trade specification also contains a public health concern. Through the provisions of Article 20 of GATT, we can see that the multilateral trading system designers try to ensure the government efforts.

[⑩] how to coordinate the relationship between trade and health is both the old and often a new topic. In fact, as the earliest human infectious diseases used to fight with weapons, Early in the 15th century Italian city-states during the Black Death epidemic areas from reaching the heart of the Venetian merchant port, will be asked to anchor in a solitary 40-day stay to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and propagation. [③] this as a beginning to the 19th century has been in the domestic legislation of States on the The international level, held in Paris since 1851, the first International Health Conference, the European countries in the past half a century has held six meetings , and in 1892 in Venice, Italy concluded the first in human history has a binding international health treaty (International Sanitary Convention, 1892), after the International Health Conference on the treaty has been revised and supplemented several times. These meetings with the fundamental objective of the treaty can be summarized as: protecting Europe from an invasion of exotic infectious diseases; two for infectious diseases to establish an international monitoring system; three to establish the World Health Organization; four countries in the harmonization of quarantine measures to facilitate international the conduct of trade. [④] International Trade and infectious diseases in the 19th century to the international legislation in the form of closely linked, on the one hand the right of States to take measures to protect domestic public health, safety, on the other hand the need for international cooperation to ensure that such trade measures do not place an unreasonable burden, causing an unreasonable obstruction. Throughout the history of the development of international trade law, this contradiction throughout. In this regard, signed in 1929, The one hand, the Convention recognizes the right of each member check the import and disposal of isolated plants or plant products, in exceptional circumstances can be a temporary ban of such plants or plant products imported, [⑤] the other hand, requires Member States specific areas of a country , it has been found in plant disease or pest, and for the protection of their plants and crops is necessary in the circumstances, not to plant health as the reason for the country implementation of plants or plant products, import and transport restrictions. reflected in the process.
