Book excerpt: The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (“TRIPS Agreement”) is the first WTO agreement requiring Members to establish a relatively detailed set of substantive norms within their national legal systems, as well as requiring them to establish enforcement measures and procedures meeting minimum standards. The TRIPS Agreement is sometimes referred to as the first WTO agreement that prescribes “positive law”. This factor alone might account for a more than typical level of controversy as the Members deal, in many cases, with adopting rather far-reaching changes to their national legal systems. Prior to the Uruguay Round negotiations (1986-1994) that resulted in a well-rounded Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures (“TRIMs Agreement”), only a few international agreements provided disciplines for measures restricting foreign investment and provided limited guidance in terms of content and country coverage. The OECD Code on Liberalisation of Capital Movements, for example, requires Members to liberalize restrictions on direct investment in a broad range of areas. The OECD Code's efficacy, however, is limited by the numerous reservations made by each of the Members.

Download or read book Investment Implications of Selected WTO Agreements and the Proposed Multilateral Agreementon Investment written by Mr.Matthias Vocke and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-05-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The substantial increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) in recent years has triggered a discussion of a uniform treatment of investment in international law. Most contributions to the multilateral investment framework derive from the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements on trade liberalization. The resulting framework is incomplete, as the WTO agreements restrict their focus on investment to aspects related to international trade and often apply to selected sectors only. A broader investment regime is needed to provide a more neutral incentive framework for investment liberalization and to promote efficient international investment flows.

Download or read book Protecting Foreign Investment written by Carlos M. Correa and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich industrialized countries are insisting that the World Trade Organization (WTO) not only launch a new round of world trade negotiations, but that rules restricted to trade issues now be extended to protect foreign direct investment. Developing countries would consequently be unable to protect their own business sectors and determine their own policies towards foreign capital. The authors explain the North's determination to give privileged protection to overseas investments by their transnational corporations. In particular, they focus on the WTO's General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and Agreement on Trade-related Investment Measures (TRIMS). They spell out their consequences for developing countries. They examine whether there is really a case for a new multilateral framework on investment within the WTO and propose various options for developing countries in resisting what amounts to a new form of Western protectionism.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: June 1999 - Is there a strong case for developing countries to support the creation of a multilateral agreement on investment? Probably not. Existing agreements offer ample scope for liberalizing foreign direct investment in the area that matters most to developing countries: services. Hoekman and Saggi evaluate the potential benefits of international disciplines on policies toward foreign direct investment for developing countries. They conclude that the case for initiating negotiations on investment policies is weak, at present. Negotiating efforts that center on further liberalizing market access on a nondiscriminatory basis-especially for services-are likely to be more fruitful in terms of economic welfare and growth. Existing multilateral instruments, although imperfect, are far from fully exploited and provide significant opportunities for governments opening further access to markets. Hoekman and Saggi conclude that priority should be given to expanding coverage of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) before seeking to negotiate general disciplines on investment policies. This paper-a product of Trade, Development Research Group-is part of a larger effort in the group to prepare for the next round of WTO negotiations.
