The SPS
Agreement explicitly recognizes the autonomous right of every country to
undertake measures for protecting human, animal and plant life and health on
its territory. Nobody, not even externally or by arbitrage, is allowed to
define the level of protection that each sovereign country shall decide to
apply on its territory.
Especially, there must be no discrimination against
various food supply sources (domestic or imported). The measures and
regulations must be based on scientific bases and risk assessment. They must
not create any sort of unjustified barriers and restriction in international
trade.
