Global administrative law and the WTO: The Appellate Body decision in the EC-Hormones dispute

The recent(ish) decision by the Appellate Body of the WTO, the latest installment in the EC-Hormones saga (United States — Continued Suspension of Obligations in the EC — Hormones Dispute) contains much of direct global administrative law significance. As Gregory Schaffer, a commentator who has already published within the GAL project, the decision has a real "such issues as standard of review, burden of proof and due process". I will post on this in more detail later in the week; in the meantime, Schaffer's excellent analysis of the issues involved from a GAL-perspective can be found here, and the decision itself can be found here.
