Question 2

Assume that the European Union passes a new trade policy that will only allow trade with South American countries that pass environmental laws that are the same as those of member countries in the EU.
 
  The argument that is made is that this will provide a level playing field for the EU in competing with South American nations in international trade. Critically evaluate this argument.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

This may seem like a way of making a level playing field but it may just be a trade restriction in disguise. South American countries are not likely to be able to comply with such a demand. The reason is that they are poorer relatively speaking compared to member nations of the EU. A clean environment is a normal good whose demand increases with the economic prosperity of the country. This doesn't sound like a good policy.
