'This is a very welcome surprise. In cooperation with a well-known publishing house, the WTO publishes the reports of its main activity: dispute settlement … This publication by Cambridge University Press presents, effortlessly for the reader, the whole saga. In this sense, it is a quintessential document for those interested in the WTO, be they practitioners, academics or students … All in all, it is an excellent initiative which fills a gap in the existing supply of information and will no doubt prove to be a very useful tool for anyone interested in WTO issues.

The form of citation recommended by the WTO for this volume is DSR, 1997:I. Cases in this volume are reported in English.
