Environmental Protection

There is much debate as trade liberalization affects the quality of life and the environment, or indirectly on trade laws passed such as free trade treaties on environmental standards and hard-won. An important step was accomplished by achieving greater civil participation in environmental assessments of Free Trade Agency. However problems remain such as water availability and global warming, which jeopardize the safety of the planet as a result of accelerated growth of the economy. It must therefore forge a globalization of the economy that supports environmental problems (Barnett, 2010, 25-75).

Economically, the growth of trade, foreign investment and international agreements provide benefits in terms of wealth, but from an environmental perspective creates problems by failing to comply with environmental quality standards (especially those less developed nations) that often must reduce its regulatory position on environmental issues because of pressure from social circumstances of extreme poverty that affects them (Library of Congress, 2003). There is growing consensus among nations especially in those underdeveloped to consider foreign trade and its liberalization process is a growing factor of irreversible degradation (Extinguish exhaustible resources, affect the biomass). If this were not to be impossible to achieve a sustainable level, so governments should promote pro-environmental rules and regulations that establish agreements on the basis of job security, consumer protection, public health and, above all safeguarding the ecosystem (Fieser, 2010, 36-46).

Especially those countries that enjoy higher levels of wealth (and therefore growth and economic development) should increase monetary support for proposals to promote international environmental agreements. The WTO as a central hub of international trade should reform their social position, allowing active participation of the public on how they are made and implemented economic measures that affects environmental and social conditions (Bloomfield, 2005, 27). The WTO should establish and evaluate environmental policies, their scope is the trade and not the environment, and these materials will fit with agencies to develop environmental conservation programs.

Governments enjoy high autonomy to be the precursor to the establishment of standards of environmental protection in response to community demands, implementing a policy of environmental protection, with a strong independence of the authoritative position of the WTO, which has no environmental schemes and it is the legitimate authority. Countries should take a strong commitment on the international agreements made to achieve an appropriate level of ecosystem protection (expressing the legitimate values ??and goals of the community) (Library of Congress, 2003).

There is a change in the current evolution of the human species over the past centuries, the result of structural modification of the planet seen increasing levels of environmental resource depletion. The production processes targeted economic interests of major powers generate strong fluctuations in industrial systems to the poorest countries, with ambitious goals that support a strong separation between the position of environmental and economic liberalization. Pursuing objectives of wealth do not consider the view of pollution, degradation and deterioration of the site on which generates the production process (Bloomfield, 2005, ...
