This surge is connected with political re-orientations, the rise of new economic powers, and security concerns. Despite the considerable effects that investment screening may have on international investment and trade, there is hardly any literature examining the consequences to be drawn from relevant WTO rules for investment screening. However, the importance of WTO law for such instruments is substantial not least due to the broad scopes of application of the GATT and GATS agreements. The risk that screening activities could be challenged before the WTO is underlined by pertinent panel reports. This book in particular uses the 2019 EU Screening Regulation as an example for illustrating the relevance that WTO law has for investment screening. It concludes that in the light of relevant WTO rulings screening activities undertaken for public order and security reasons may face considerable hurdles not least in the general exceptions and security exceptions of the GATT and the GATS. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Law,$x2192-8568 606 $aInternational law 606 $aTrade regulation 606 $aCommercial law 606 $aEuropean Economic Community 606 $aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law 606 $aEuropean Economic Law 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aTrade regulation. 615 0$aCommercial law. 615 0$aEuropean Economic Community. 615 14$aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law. 615 24$aEuropean Economic Law. 676 $a346.092 700 $aVranes$b Erich$01427829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910763593103321 996 $aInvestment Screening and WTO Law$93601275 997 $aUNINA
