How Deep Should We Go? – Searching for an Appropriate Standard of Review in the SPS Cases

Although the applicable standard of review under Articles 2.2/5.1 of the SPS Agreement is not de novo, an investigation of the WTO panel remains intrusive in terms of objectivity and coherence of risk assessment. Moreover, the panel's review does not end with a final conclusion reached by the WTO Member in the risk assessment. It also extends to the quality of the reasoning and the intermediate interferences that led to the conclusion. If a WTO Member exercises expert judgment in its risk assessment, this needs to be sufficiently transparent and well documented (author's headnote). The obligations of Article 5.1 and 5.6 are distinctive and independent from each other. Therefore, a violation of the first provision does not imply infringement of the latter one (author's headnote).
