"Professor Scott's <i>The WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures: A Commentary</i> is a gem: a well thematized guide that belongs on the shelves of all those with an academic or practical interest in the workings of the Agreement. Presented in a clear and scholarly style, this text hits its mark as one of the series of Oxford Commentaries on the GATT/WTO Agreements...Professor Scott's book if thoroughly to be recommended. The themes of the work are pragmatically and sensitively selected, and the text readable and helpful. A good balance is maintained between explanation and deeper investigation of significant points." - Caroline E. Foster, World Trade Review 8/3, 2009
