Summary

• "This book discusses the different aspects of the rules 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.
• It discusses the evolution of the different sets of rules of origin, the economics of the rules of origin, and the technical options for drafting rules of origin including a methodology for drafting product-specific rules of origin."--Jacket.
