"Dans les cas où les preuves scientifiques pertinentes seront insuffisantes, un Membre pourra provisoirement adopter des mesures sanitaires ou phytosanitaires sur la base des renseignements pertinents disponibles, y compris ceux qui émanent des organisations internationales compétentes ainsi que ceux qui découlent des mesures sanitaires ou phytosanitaires appliquées par d'autres Membres.
Although the term -Precautionary Principle" is not explicitly used in the WTO Agreement on the Applicat
ion of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS), the Appellate Body on EC measures concerning meat and meat products (Hormones) (AB-1997-4, paragraph 124) states that it finds reflection in Article 5.7 of this Agreement. Art 5. 7 reads:-In cases where relevant scientific evidence is insufficient, a Member may provisionally adopt sanitary or phytosanitary measures on the basis of available scientific information, including that from the relevant international organizations as well as from sanitary and phy
tosanitary measures ...[+++]applied by other Members.
