摘要

It would be preposterous to advance any definitive opinion on what should be the "right" standard of review for trade remedy cases in a short article like the present one. And it is not the proper role of the commentator to take a final position on what the standard of review "is" under the present agreements properly understood. This task must rest with the AB. What this article could do, however, was to explain the way the AB has so far approached this task. It found that the AB had drawn on the substantive rules of the relevant agreements to deduce an intermediate standard of review in safeguard cases. This analysis also showed, however, that the AB's arguments on this point have so far been slightly too cursory, and in particular with respect to the most important criteria defining the intermediate standard of review for safeguard cases, the requirement that the national authorities' explanation be adequate. This criterion was in effect shown to be the key element in limiting the discretion of national authorities. Under the present standard of review not only for safeguard, but also for ADP and, it can be speculated, CVM cases, national authorities are rather tightly constrained by the applicable standard(s) of review, so much that in'the eyes of the national authorities, the drawbacks of the intermediate standard(s) of review (the possibility to fail because of procedural errors) might outweigh the advantages of the margin of discretion afforded by such intermediate standard(s) of review. Good arguments in the text of the agreements were found, however, that could sustain such tight control by Panels and the AB. In fact, it was argued that they might sustain and demand an even tighter standard of review-de now review-in all but ADP cases, and that there is presently no basis for applying anything else than de now review as a general procedural rule absent specific textual support in the specific agreement at issue. It is hoped that the AB will tackle these remaining gaps in its jurisprudence in the future. Given the frequency with which standard of review is raised by the parties in WTO disputes, it is almost safe to say that the AB will indeed do so soon. Less certain is the prospect of any change to the pertinent provisions of the WTO agreements, given the difficulties in negotiating Article 17.6 ADP and the divergent proposals for changing it. But the last word on standard of review for WTO Panels in trade remedy cases has certainly not yet been spoken.
