Findings - The most important obligation in the interpretation of Article 6 of the SPS Agreement is to ensure that Members adapt their SPS measures to the SPS characteristics of the area from which the product originated and to which the product is destined, and the remainder of this Article sets out in detail the obligations of such Member States. and prescribes the respective obligations applicable to the relevant importing and exporting Members.
