| Abstract: | It has been calculated the value of the
preference margin granted to Euro-Mediterranean
partners in the cases of reduced entry prices in force,
and then it has been simulated the impact of EU trade
liberalisation for F&V on such values after two different
alternatives of EP system variations resulting from a
WTO agreement. The results of current preferences
indicate that in monetary terms there is only a
significant relevance of the preferential EPs in the case
of Moroccan tomatoes and, to a lesser extent, in
Moroccan clementines. Very little is the relevance for
Jordanian tomatoes and cucumbers and Moroccan
courgettes, cucumbers and artichokes. In the cases of
oranges from Egypt, Morocco, Israel and Jordan,
preferential EP has not meant potential monetary
transfers to these preference-receiver countries. Instead,
the ad valorem tariff exoneration seems crucial in almost
all the products. With regard to the erosion of
preferences as a result of a WTO agreement, the
magnitude of the erosion depends crucially on the
variation/no-variation of the current trigger EPs, and
the undermining of preferences is concentrated mostly
on Moroccan tomatoes. |
