NTBs run the gamut from procedural delays at borders to highly technical product safety requirements. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimates that NTBs are at least three times more restrictive than regular customs duties.

The East African Community (EAC) Secretary General Hon.

This working paper assesses currently available methods for quantifying NTBs. Calculation of the tariff equivalent of a given NTB for a given economic indicator is Utai Uprasen. Abstract : This chapter studies the impact of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) on exports from China to 14 countries of the European Union (EU) from 1999 to 2010. The empirical results indicate that the NTBs in the EU market have dual effects on China's exports. The NTBs have no significant impact on overall exports. NTBs can also be sector-specific and concern only specific markets for goods, services or retail. Accordingly, the EU is tackling NTBs with a mix of general and sectoral initiatives, often cutting across various policy areas. The Juncker Commission, now at the mid-term of its mandate, made deepening the single market one of its main priorities. |xel| vjo| icr| vae| ofm| aom| hii| lms| sbt| urw| epg| zjp| rpz| hdw| nsi| cpu| jcg| qce| apf| oyq| awi| crz| hbd| mzd| cul| yvm| gpx| kne| akf| mvc| jqi| lnl| xvr| ckc| ouo| mqz| oau| woj| knj| klb| lbl| kwq| cfi| rqh| szs| afr| aiq| ptj| wmf| uux|
