United States — Standards for Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline Pays/Territoire États-Unis d'Amérique Type de cour Cour internationale Date Avr 29, 1996 Source UNEP, InforMEA Nom du tribunal WTO Appelate Body Numéro de référence WT/DS2 Langue Anglais Sujet Questions juridiques, Air et atmosphère Résumé Venezuela requested consultations on 24 January 1995 and Brazil on 10 April 1995. Complainants alleged that a US gasoline regulation discriminated against complainants’ gasoline. The “Gasoline Rule” under the US Clean Air Act that set out the rules for establishing baseline figures for gasoline sold on the US market (different methods for domestic and imported gasoline), with the purpose of regulating the composition and emission effects of gasoline to prevent air pollution.In respect of the US defence under Art. XX(g), the Appellate Body modified the Panel's reasoning and found that the measure was “related to” (i.e. “primarily aimed at”) the “conservation of exhaustible natural resources” and thus fell within the scope of Art. XX(g). However, the measure was still not justified by Art. XX because the discriminatory aspect of the measure constituted “unjustifiable discrimination” and a “disguised restriction on international trade” under the chapeau of Art. XX.
