Abstract:

This paper analyses export restrictions as part of the Trade Committee’s on-going project on non-tariff
measures, which aims at examining particular types of measures and deepening the understanding of
the nature and effects of the measures. The main questions that this paper deals with include: the nature of justifications invoked for exceptions, in particular in the case of economic reasons; whether current transparency disciplines are sufficient in terms of predictability; and whether there is room for strengthening disciplines in this area, on either a horizontal or a sectoral basis. This paper finally provides some possible orientations for future disciplines. They include possibilities of scheduling, horizontal or sector-specific disciplines, and transparency measures.
