The ‘Transparency Staircase’
from Part III - Transparency as a Complement to Dispute Settlement
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 April 2020
Using the framework exposed in Chapter 6, this chapter presents how the SPS and TBT transparency mechanisms serve to address a number of the factors needed by WTO Members to adjudicate. In particular, it shows the extent to which SPS and TBT transparency allows to gain access to information about other Members’ regulations, to reduce some resource inequalities through equal access to information and to offer alternative fora to discuss conflicts and work towards a mutually acceptable solution. Still, this chapter underlines inequalities that remain in the access to WTO transparency, suggesting some explanations for unequal access to dispute settlement.
