| Tiivistelmä: | This article discusses how the minimum standards set by a `World Environmental organization´ (WEO) and NGO labelling are promoted as alternative approaches to international environmental protection. The authors investigate potential inter-play between these two approaches when the WEO is subject to pressure from producers. It is found that if WEO and NGO schemes are mutually exclusive then the existence of an NGO alternative increases industry resistance to WEO proposals and this may reduce welfare. However, if the schemes are run in parallel, the existence of the NGO reduces producer opposition to WEO activities. |
