Summary
A letter from Peter Mandelson, European Commissioner for Trade, to the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) regarding the disclosure of written submissions in the WTO dispute 'Brazil — Measures affecting retreated tyres'.
Key insights
- Peter Mandelson responds to a request from the Center for International Environmental Law to publicly release the European Commission's first written submission and subsequent filings in the WTO dispute titled 'Brazil — Measures affecting retreated tyres'.
- The European Commissioner for Trade criticizes a March 2006 background paper produced by the Center for International Environmental Law, claiming it contains factual inaccuracies and accepts Brazilian assertions without reflecting the arguments of the European Communities.
- The European Communities maintain a consistent policy of making written submissions to WTO panels and the Appellate Body public immediately following the oral hearing where the submission is discussed, rather than at the time of filing.
- The European Communities claim leadership in WTO transparency, citing their efforts to obtain public access to panel hearings in a sanctions dispute involving the US and Canada, and their goal to secure open hearings through the Doha Development Agenda (DDA).
