International cooperation can play a critical role in addressing these challenges. By aligning regulations and standards across countries, the TBT Agreement can:
1. Enhance Mutual Recognition: Countries can agree to mutually recognize each other's testing and certification procedures, reducing redundancy and fostering trade.
2. Promote Harmonization: By encouraging the adoption of international standards, the TBT Agreement can help harmonize regulations, making it easier for companies to comply with multiple jurisdictions.
3. Foster Information Exchange: Cooperation can facilitate the sharing of information related to new developments, safety data, and best practices, helping regulators stay abreast of the latest advancements in nanotechnology.
