Die Anerkennung moralischer Bedenken im Agrarhandel am Beispiel des Tierschutzes
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Martinez, José
On 18 June 2014, the Dispute Resolution Body of the WTO adopted reports in which it was concluded that a ban on the trade in seal products could in principle be considered as justified on the grounds of a moral nature relating to seal welfare. For the first time, restrictions on trade related to securing animal welfare have been justified on the grounds of the protection or recognition of moral scruples. This precedent opens up the possibility of adopting other international measures regarding other products whose production pro-cess raises moral concerns. Some consideration could be given, among other things, to the introduction of specific labelling or a ban on imports of certain products. However, these measures must not be adopted and applied for protectionist purposes and must not discriminate against other states.
