2 Curiously enough, the only reference to environmental protection in the Free Trade Agreement is among the “legitimate domestic objectives” (Art. 601) that would justify national trade barriers, in close parallel to Article XX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT, already incorporated in FTA Art. 1201).

6 K. Neumeyer, Internationales Verwaltungsrecht (5 vols., 1910–36); see also Neumeyer, Le droit administratif international, 18 Revue Générale De Droit International Public 492 (1911). The treatise also contains what probably is the first comprehensive treatment of environmental legal problems in a transnational context, largely drawing on the author’s firsthand experience as a magistrate in the Bavarian-Austrian frontier region. Neumeyer was professor of international law at the University of Munich until Nazi persecution forced him into suicide.
