In summary, the WTO dispute system gives a great deal of authority to panelists and Appellate Body members who act independently of government instruction. The environment regime does this far less so. Analysts who contemplate trying to graft the WTO procedures into environmental institutions should recognize the tensions that now exist in the trading system over this allocation of authority. In my view, governments would be disinclined to create a WTO-like system in environmental institutions. Indeed, if the WTO dispute system were being rewritten today, I suspect that governments would make it less independent of political control.

The main idea of the paragraph

The WTO dispute system gives a great deal of authority to panelists and Appellate Body members, which leads to the fact that they act independently of government instructions and to the tensions that now exist in the trade system over this allocation of authority. This should be paid close attention to when other international organizations like environmental institutions consider introducing the WTO procedures.

世贸组织的争端解决体系给予专家小组成员和上诉受理机构成员很多授权，这导致他们不依照政府指令行事，也导致存在于贸易体系内就授权分配方面的紧张局面，当其他像环境机构这样的国际组织考虑引入世贸组织程序时应该特别注意这一点。
