Trade Defence Measures in Green Sectors: the Case of Renewables CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Register online for this meetingIn recent years\, trade remedie s - anti-dumping and countervailing duties - have increasingly been direct ed towards goods used in conjunction with renewable energy sources - solar panels\, wind turbines and biofuels. This puts these measures at cross pu rposes with national and international climate and environment policies. T he geopolitics and political economy are more complicated though. The deve loped as well as the developing countries are using these measures. And wh ile one can argue that a given amount of environmental expenditure would g o further in the absence of trade remedies\, it is not clear that the amou nt of public support would remain at the same level.There can be little do ubt that trade remedies are a sensitive area.Trade remedies may have a sig nificant effect on value and job creation throughout the supply chain as a whole. Trade remedies are bound to have competitive implications. Trade r emedies against renewables provide a counterpoint to the initiative to red uce tariffs on environmental goods\, particularly since some of the most a ctive users of trade remedies participate in the initiative. Trade remedie s shatter the alliances among interest groups. A profound shift is under w ay in the new generation of “trade and environment” disputes.Questions :What are the actual or potential effects of trade remedies involving rene wables?What kind of conclusions can be drawn from trade remedies cases sin ce 2008?Are there alternative approaches that might lessen the impact of t rade remedies on the deployment of renewable energy? What is the impact of trade remedies on jobs and value added?Are competitors with different sup ply chain using trade remedy cases to "\;raid"\; each other?Can al igning the anti-dumping rules with the competition or anti-trust rules  h elp make sure they only remedy truly anti-competitive behavior - as oppose d to undesired competition?Are there ways of providing more robust\, empir ically sound and predictable outcomes in trade remedies investigations and better connect trade law to the "\;real world"\;?Do trade remedie s constitute a problem for the liberalization of trade in environmental go ods and services?- How can countries\, individually and collectively\, man age the interface between two deeply held goals: “fair international tra de” and “GHG control”?Experts:Gary Hufbauer\, Peterson InstituteVang elis Vitalis\, Ambassador of New Zealand to the EUJoost Pauwelyn\, Profess or of International Law\, Graduate InstituteThomas Cottier\, Managing Dire ctor\, World Trade InsituteAaron Cosbey\, Senior Fellow\, IISDGary Horlick \,  Attorney at Law Offices of Gary N.
