Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, Brussels, Belgium E-mail: jbourgeois@akingump.com
This brief article advocates the establishing of a standing or standing WTO Dispute Settlement panels. It also draws the attention to some deficiencies of a procedural nature, i.e. on standing, preliminary rulings, scope of disputes, judicial economy and appeals, and review of factual findings on appeal. It suggests improvements and raises the question whether interim relief should be provided.
