extent to which they cooperate with one another.
On the other hand, it is also the case that different economic blocs will have their own political and economic aims as a priority,
and therefore their policies may not always reflect what is in the best interests of the environment as a whole, but rather the economic aims of the various countries involved.
This can be seen, for instance, in some of the disputes which have arisen between the USA and the EU under the rules of the WTO, and which can be

For example, in 1999 the UK brought in a ban on the sale of asbestos, which is widely acknowledged to be an extremely hazardous building material. However, those
countries which mine asbestos, such as Canada, are free to invoke WTO regulations in order to have the ban lifted, and since those countries which do not abide by WTO
