The World Trade Organization (WTO) has developed a web-based training module that is aimed at anyone who needs a basic understanding of the WTO Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (the "SPS Agreement"). It includes interactive tests which allow the user to measure progress made in learning the content and, in addition to the course material itself, links are provided to reference documents, such as legal texts and other official WTO documents. Chapter 8 is dedicated to two "special issues", one of which is GMOs. The training module is available in English, French and Spanish.
