Description

Summary:

Simply identifying the main non-tariff measures is a difficult task to which data collected by business surveys can make a contribution. This paper compiles and broadly analyses the findings from survey-based research that helps identify barriers perceived by exporters from various countries and regions in foreign markets. It furthermore explores the extent to which different surveys report the same types of barriers. Areas of high concern found to be common to many surveys are technical measures, customs rules and procedures and, to a lesser extent, internal taxes or charges and competitionrelated
restrictions on market access.

This study was prepared by Barbara Fliess of the Trade Directorate, with the assistance of
Izaskun Lejarraga. The project was supervised by Anthony Kleitz.
