Abstract
The present paper focuses on the European Community’s Scheme of Generalised Tariff Preferences (GSP). It examines the recently adopted Regulation 732/2008, which sets out the regulatory framework governing the GSP from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2011.3 The paper essentially asks whether this system of human rights conditionality is more than just a window dressing on the part of the Community. It argues that despite various changes made to the GSP regulation, a number of problems remain with the credibility of this arrangement. Some of these also create problems in terms of the Community’s WTO-law obligations.
