The Advisory Centre for WTO Law organised the first virtual session of their trade-law study group last week. I made a presentation on the AB report in 'Russia-Railway equipment' and we had a discussion on key provisions of the @wto's #TBT Agreement. https://www.acwl.ch/virtual-session-of-the-acwls-womens-study-group/
The Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade is part of a broader category of WTO agreements dealing with
non-tariff measures, which include technical regulations and standards.
Here's a detailed WTO booklet on the TBT Agreement: https://www.wto.org/english/res_e/publications_e/tbttotrade_e.pdf

The last few weeks have been very productive in terms of getting up to speed with recent case-law in international trade and investment, and with scholarship on #trade and #geoeconomics. Looking forward to reading more by @nicolas_lamp, @AntheaERoberts and @AmritaNarlikar.
