Rules Of Origin In International Trade
This book discusses the different aspects of origin with a multidisciplinary perspective. It offers the first overview of the status of the negotiations on nonpreferential rules of origin under the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement on rules of origin, after more than 10 years of negotiations, and its possible implications for other WTO Agreements. This book deals extensively with preferential rules of origin both under unilateral trade instruments like the Generalized System of Preferences, the Everything But Arms initiative, and the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act and in free-trade areas. Inama analyzes the experience of the United States and the European Community (EC) in developing the North American Free-Trade Agreement and the Pan-European rules of origin. He also compares and discuses the parallel experiences of the major southern regional trade agreements, including Mercosur, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and the ASEAN-China free-trade area, as well as the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, Eastern Africa Community, and Southern Africa Development Community in their negotiations of the European Partnership Agreements with the EC. It discusses the evalution of the different sets of rules of origin, the economics of the origin, and the technical options for drafting rules of origin including a methodology for drafting product-specific rules of origin.
