Synopsis

Trade and the Environment is a penetrating analysis of the relation between trade and environmental protection policies in the European Community and the United States. It argues that the international tensions arising from policies designed to protect trade and the environment can be resolved by the free trade provisions of the EC Treaty and the US Constitution, and from the setting of common environmental standards for all parties. It discusses also the contributions of the judiciary and legislature toward the solution of these tensions.

Review

"...Geradin has carefully researched and compared the relevant U.S. and European trade and environmental law and shows that there is not necessarily only one solution to various problems regarding the relationship between trade and environment. His well-structured book demonstrates the advantages of a comparative approach and encourages us to search for the best solution to each problem." Julian Kokott, The American Journal of International Law

"This is clearly the work of a scholar treading into new and exciting terrritory." Virginia Davis, International Journal of Legal Information
