The WTO Agreement on Rules of Origin: Implications for South Asia
Published By: CDS on eSS | Published Date: December, 09 , 2003From neutral trade policy devices employed to identity country
of origin of commodities, the rules of origin are emerging as protectionist
tools. Nation-states, as they are increasingly denied of conventional
trade policy tools, are reasserting themselves by evolving new and less
visible weapons of intervention. The misuse of rules of origin as
protectionist tools is widely reported from PTAs among developed
countries, such as EEC and NAFTA. More recently, non-preferential
rules of origin are also being used for protectionist purpose. [Working Paper No. 353]
