The EC Asbestos Case
Original language description
The article describes the technical barriers to trade and its legislative framework in the context of European Communities - Measures Affecting Asbestos and Asbestos Containing Products. WTO Members Canada and the European Communities ('EC') were involved as plaintiff and defendant. The dispute revolved around the compatibility of the French ban on the import and use of construction materials containing asbestos with free trade regulations. Both arbiters examined the ban for possible violations of the TBT Agreement and the GATT and considered the argument that this trade distortion was justified since it was designed to mitigate health risks. This was the first time a party to a WTO arbitration procedure successfully used health protection pursuant to Art. XX (b) GATT as a legitimate justification for restricting international trade.
