Footnotes

The idea that environmental considerations should be linked to trade negotiations was advocated by Bill Clinton at the WTO Ministerial Meeting in Seattle during December 1999, apparently receiving widespread support from other developed country policy makers. See http://ft.com/wto. We give other examples of linked trade-environmental agreements in Section ‘Comparing the WEO with other proposals; advantages and limitations’ below.
