Abstract
This Article has two objectives. First, the Article will develop a conceptual framework for analyzing the interrelationship between trade restraints and environmental protection policy. Second, it will draw from the experiences of two federal-type political systems-the United States and the European Community-potential lessons for the international institutional treatment of trade and environment issues. The Article does not deal with many other aspects of trade and environment issues, such as the use of pollution-control subsidies, or the impact of trade liberalization on environmental quality, or whether treaty negotiations should be subject to environmental assessment procedures. Nor does it offer a detailed review of relevant legal texts and decisions. Its aim is to provide an analytical structure for thinking through the issues of law and policy presented by trade-related environmental regulation.
