Regional economic agreements aim for freer trade in animals and products. Harmonizing standards with OIE and Codex Alimentarius is recommended to avoid trade barriers and promote global commerce.

Area of Science:

  • International Trade Law
  • Agricultural Economics
  • Veterinary Policy

Background:

  • Numerous regional economic agreements, including the European Union (EU), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), MERCOSUR, ASEAN, SAARC, and Australia-New Zealand CER, are actively pursuing regional integration.
  • The World Trade Organization (WTO) views regional and multinational integration initiatives as complementary to achieving more open global trade.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the role of regional economic agreements in facilitating freer trade of animals and animal products.
  • To assess strategies for harmonizing Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) standards among trading nations.
  • To identify and address non-tariff barriers in international trade.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing regional economic agreements and their impact on trade in animals and animal products.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of World Trade Organization (WTO) perspectives on trade integration.
  • Examination of international standards set by the OIE and the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission.
  • Assessment of the potential of VICH (Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medical Products) in pharmaceutical trade.

    • Main Results:

    • Regional integration initiatives are key drivers for freer trade in animals and animal products.
    • Harmonizing national requirements with OIE and Codex Alimentarius standards is recommended over adopting lowest common denominator standards.
    • Regional groupings can potentially create non-tariff barriers, necessitating examination of traditional trade customs.
    • Ongoing harmonization activities, such as VICH, show promise for increased trade in veterinary medical products.

    Conclusions:

    • Regional economic agreements can significantly boost trade in animals and animal products.
    • Adherence to international standards (OIE, Codex Alimentarius) is crucial for effective SPS harmonization.
    • Addressing non-tariff barriers remains a critical challenge for seamless multilateral trade.
    • Harmonization efforts in veterinary product registration can foster greater international market access.
