Climate/Trade:
Thompson Hine's Nicely discusses international trade law, climate policy relationship
What considerations should legislators be making to international trade laws as they shape the U.S.'s future climate policy? During today's OnPoint, Matthew Nicely, a partner at Thompson Hine and an international trade law expert, discusses the important relationship between international trade laws and climate policy and analyzes the Lieberman Warner climate bill for consistencies with international trade obligations. Nicely also explains why he believes the ethanol import tariff and ethanol subsidies are problematic and why allowing for easier access to Brazilian ethanol imports would be beneficial to the environment and help lower food costs.
