Abstract
Tres décadas de debate sobre el comercio y el medioambiente han producido avances
menores para el desarrollo sostenible. Actualmente, la liberalización del comercio se encuentra
desconectada de estándares globales de producción, distribución y consumo. A resultas, los métodos y
procesos de producción (MPP) en las cadenas globales de suministro no son relevantes legalmente en la
actual ecuación del desarrollo basada en el comercio. Las soluciones para alcanzar el desarrollo sostenible
mundial no son ciertamente sencillas: ahora bien, construir un mercado global en el que los costes
medioambientales son 100% irrelevantes en términos legales (distinción de producto similar) no ayuda.

Nowadays, trade liberalization is delinked from sustainable global standards of production, distribution and consumption. As a result, process and production methods (PPMs) in global supply-chains are not legally relevant in the trade-based development equation. Solutions to achieve global sustainable development are certainly not easy: however, constructing a global market in which environmental costs are 100% legally irrelevant (like product distinction) does not help.
