Hormones: 'objective assessment' and (or as) standard of review
Attorney at Stibbe Simont Monahan Duhot, 47-51 Rue Henri Wafelaerts, 1060 Brussels, Belgium
In the Appellate Body report on EC measures affecting meat and meat products, commonly referred to as the Hormones case, some of the findings of the Appellate Body related to the appropriate standard of review that panels must observe when evaluating the legality of a WTO member state measure that is in dispute. As this was the first Appellate Body ruling on the issue of standard of review, it could be an important indicator of the approach panels may take in the future to this issue.
