      abstract = {The hypothesis that six EU Member States show a common  behavior on the implementation of food safety standards on  fruits and vegetables imports is examined. To do so, we  analyzed food border notifications recorded by the Rapid  Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF). Path dependence and  reputation effects of past border notifications were  explored for the whole period 2001-13, and for sub-periods  2001-07 and 2008-13. Negative binomial (NB) and  zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) distributions were  used to deal with over-dispersion and excess of zero  counts. Our findings suggest thatthe EU cannot be  considered as a single unit when non-tariff measures are  studied, although there are some signs that MS behavior is  becoming more uniform in the latest period.},
