Así, a través del método dogmático se analiza si se trata de una MSF que afecta al comercio internacional y si cumple con los principios básicos del Acuerdo sobre la aplicación de MSF como si la medida: fuera emitida bajo el derecho soberano de la Unión Europea (UE) Estados Miembros (EM) para adoptar medidas sanitarias y fitosanitarias, se adoptó para proteger la vida o la salud humana, tenía base científica y no implica una discriminación arbitraria o injustificada
