ABOUT TRADE CONCERNS

WTO Committees and Councils are fundamental fora for discussion. Members use these multilateral settings to raise trade concerns with respect to measures which may affect their trade. These discussions can help ease trade tensions by providing further information and clarification, working towards mutually satisfactory solutions.

Since 1995, Members have devoted an increasing amount of time and attention to the discussion of trade concerns. This improves understanding of the rationale behind other Members' regulations, shedding light on details regarding implementation and enforcement. In certain cases, this has effectively facilitated the resolution of trade issues arising between Members.

The Trade Concerns Database allows users to search for trade concerns raised in the Council for Trade in Goods (CTG), Committee on Market Access (CMA), the Committee on Import Licensing (IL), the Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) and the Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), to view Members’ profiles and to explore and visualize results according to different criteria. Trade concerns raised in other WTO bodies can be included at a later stage.
