Ad hoc Expert Group 2: Trade Remedies in G reen Sectors: the Case of Renewables CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, trade remedies - anti-dumping and countervail ing duties - have increasingly been directed towards goods used in conjunc tion with renewable energy sources - solar panels\, wind turbines and biof uels. This puts these measures at cross purposes with national and interna tional climate and environment policies.\n\nThe geopolitics and political economy are more complicated though. The developed as well as the developi ng countries are using these measures. And while one can argue that a give n amount of environmental expenditure would go further in the absence of t rade remedies\, it is not clear that the amount of public support would re main at the same level.\n\nThere can be little doubt that trade remedies a re a sensitive area. Trade remedies may have a significant effect on value and job creation throughout the supply chain as a whole. Trade remedies a re bound to have competitive implications. Trade remedies against renewabl es provide a counterpoint to the initiative to reduce tariffs on environme ntal goods\, particularly since some of the most active users of trade rem edies participate in the initiative. Trade remedies shatter the alliances among interest groups. A profound shift is under way in the new generation of “trade and environment” disputes.\n\nQuestions:\n\n\nWhat are the actual or potential effects of trade remedies involving renewables?\nWhat kind of conclusions can be drawn from trade remedies cases since 2008?\nAr e there alternative approaches that might lessen the impact of trade remed ies on the deployment of renewable energy?\nWhat is the impact of trade re medies on jobs and value added?\nAre competitors with different supply cha in using trade remedy cases to "\;raid"\; each other?\nCan alignin g the anti-dumping rules with the competition or anti-trust rules  help m ake sure they only remedy truly anti-competitive behavior - as opposed to undesired competition?\nAre there ways of providing more robust\, empirica lly sound and predictable outcomes in trade remedies investigations and be tter connect trade law to the "\;real world"\;?\nDo trade remedies constitute a problem for the liberalization of trade in environmental goo ds and services?- How can countries\, individually and collectively\, mana ge the interface between two deeply held goals: “fair international trad e” and “GHG control”?\n\n\nExperts:\n\n\nGary Hufbauer\, Peterson In stitute\nVangelis Vitalis\, Ambassador of New Zealand to the EU\nBernard H oekman\, Professor\, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies\, European University Institute\nJoost Pauwelyn\, Professor of International Law\, G raduate Institute\nThomas Cottier\, Managing Director\, World Trade Insitu te\nAaron Cosbey\, Senior Fellow\, IISD\nGary Horlick\,  Attorney at Law Offices of Gary N.
