Forum II: Globalisation, World Trade and Health Forum II: Globalisation, World Trade and Health The Forum was structured as an enquiry process. Expert witnesses were called to make a statement of the facts from their particular point of view to a representative panel of stakeholders. Delegates had the opportunity to feed questions into the enquiry process and were called upon to actively participate in the open floor debate Introduction - Health and Free Trade Conflict or Synergy Julius Weinberg The possibility that there might be conflict between commerce and health has been recognised for many centuries. For several hundred years the only effective measure to combat infectious disease was quarantine, a restraint on trade. As the plague swept across Europe in the epidemics of past centuries quarantine, the closing of town gates and the isolation of communities was a common response. Attempts to regularise the international response to infectious disease were the major drive to the development of international collaborations in health. However the first International Sanitary Conference in 1856 foundered for two main reasons, first there was no understanding of the microbial basis of infectious disease and secondly because some of the participants, particularly Britain saw attempts to control infections disease as infringing free trade. Since this time balancing the interests of trade with the interest of disease control has proved problematical. The International Health Regulations explicitly state that any measure taken should be the minimal appropriate for the control of disease and that there should be least possible disruption of trade. As International trade and travel has increased and as the problems associated with infectious disease have reduced the problems have become more complex. Now the concerns include the internationalisation of non infectious threats to health, and the responses to those threats. The Internationalisation of potential threats to health is associated with trade in food and other commodities such as tobacco, pesticides, GM crops; the internationalisation of the response is associated with the trade in pharmaceuticals and health related services. The essence of the conflict is based upon: • That local authorities should be able to undertake appropriate measure to control threats to health. • That there should be minimal impediments to trade and that there should be a “level playing field” in health with regulation of standards. These two principals will inevitably be in conflict on occasion. There is little in International Law which is primarily concerned with health – the International Health Regulations are only concerned with Yellow Fever, Cholera and Plague. Whilst there are a large number of International Laws and Regulation in the area of trade – some of these might include a health element.
