Abstract

Sanitary and phytosanitary measures are not only required for protection of human life against hazardous substances, but also implemented for overall protection of the environment. The nations to this agreement must conform to the international standard specified for food items. The nations will be free to devise methods for assessing risks associated with such food products. This agreement also speaks of level of protection that the nations can decide upon based on risk assessment. However, the level of protection should not be so to lead to become arbitrary or unjustifiable. Under this agreement nations are free to take specific measures, but that should not act more than the normal trade restriction. Moreover, the protection measures are adopted, which are necessary to protect the human, animal or plant life and health.
