On the other hand, WTO cannot completely reconcile trade and environment conflicts. There are some obstacles which have beyond WTO regime. Firstly, have to consider how to deal with the potential conflict between itself and MEAS and cooperate with other environmental NGOs, because if trade liberalization is to be reconciled with environmental protection, the optimal environmental management needs to be in place. In addition, to arrive at a satisfactory solution to the trade and environment conflict, there are some common political premises that have to go beyond the WTO regime. For the benefit of the whole world, developed countries must assume a responsible attitude toward developing and least developed countries. The gap between the rich and the poor of the world must be reduced. Economically emerging nations bear the primary responsibility for preserving biodiversity, and industrialised nations for reducing the consumption of raw materials and energy.
