Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book offers an article by article legal commentary on the WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (the SPS Agreement). This allows WTO members to implement barriers to trade, for example on food or pharmaceutical products, in order to protect public health, provided that the measure is based on established international guidelines or backed by scientific evidence. This book also looks at the case law which has grown up around the SPS
Agreement.
Long description:
This book offers an article by article legal commentary on the WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (the SPS Agreement), which allows WTO members to implement barriers to trade on food products in order to protect public health, provided that the measure is based on established international guidelines or backed by scientific evidence.
This book looks at the case law which has grown up around the SPS Agreement, includes an analysis of the recent Biotech (GMOs) panel report, examines the working of the SPS Committee, an important site for transnational governance in food safety, and the relationship between the SPS Agreement and international standards.
Professor Scott's The WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures: A Commentary is a gem: a well thematized guide that belongs on the shelves of all those with an academic or practical interest in the workings of the Agreement. Presented in a clear and scholarly style, this text hits its mark as one of the series of Oxford Commentaries on the GATT/WTO Agreements...Professor Scott's book if thoroughly to be recommended. The themes of the work are
pragmatically and sensitively selected, and the text readable and helpful. A good balance is maintained between explanation and deeper investigation of significant points.
