Horizontal Issues

Trade regulation operates on levels of domestic, regional and global law. It entails allocation of powers and functions with a view to the achievement of greater coherence and consistency. It entails considerations of vertical separation of powers and an overall balance of powers. All work packages face related issues and have been encouraged to deal with them in a framework developed horizontally. To this effect, the WP on Multilayered Governance has undertaken a series of research projects during Phases I and II.
