United States Agricultural Import Quotas and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade

Authors

George Welch

Abstract

This commentary will assess GATT’s ability to regulate agricultural import quotas. First, it will examine both sides of quota usage to weigh the underlying values the United States chose in electing to protect its agricultural industry with quotas. Next, the effects of the waiver on the United States and on other GATT members will be appraised. Finally, this commentary will discuss consequences of GATT revitalization if proposed United States budget changes take place.
