Abstract:Any WTO member can use countermeasures against those adverse technical trade measures through the dispute settlement mechanism not only in theory but also according to the past experiences of other countries. The Uniform Limit from the current agricultural chemical residue system in Japan, the Positive List System, has already hindered the export trade of agricultural product from China to Japan greatly. Thus in this paper, analysis of the feasibility of the legal proceeding against the Uniform Limit through WTO dispute settlement mechanism was given according to the evidences of violation against SPS Agreement articles. It was indicated that the countermeasure on the Uniform Limit through WTO legal proceeding would be a useful attempt.
