The article is devoted to the questions of the duplicating legal proceedings between judicial bodies of regional integration associations and DSB of WTO.

Further, in the text various approaches of correlation between WTO law and agreements of regional associations are considered. The authors give various examples about cases of the duplicating legal proceedings, list possible consequences at emergence of them and consider the main opportunities of solving such cases.References
