Abstract
Interpretative criteria and other legal tools employed in treaty interpretation are not always sufficient to resolve questions regarding the relationship between the different WTO Agreements that form a 'single package' and which entered into force on the same day. This is particularly true with respect to the various agreements relating to trade in goods. The authors analyze four possible relationships between provisions of the GATT 1994 and provisions of the other Annex 1A Agreements that have so far been identified and developed by panels and the Appellate Body: conflict, express derogation, overlap and complementarity.Keywords
