Article Abstract:

Trade representatives' fears that effective environmental regulation will adversely affect investment in their countries are not supported by evidence.

International environmental regulations often conflict with GATT rules on international trade causing dissatisfaction among environmentalists and businesspeople alike. Environmentalists accuse GATT of advocating disregard for the environment.
