| Agricultural Tariff
Rate Quotas as a Development Instrument |

| This paper discusses tariff rate
quotas (TRQs) as a way of enhancing market access for developing country agricultural
exports. Using the EU as a case study, it examines the extent to which developing
countries have been able to make use of existing TRQs to gain access to the EU
market. Many countries have proposed that TRQs should be increased within the
framework of current negotiations on further agricultural trade liberalisation.
Some countries have also proposed that TRQs might be administered preferentially
to favour some or all developing countries. The economic and legal issues arising
from an increase in TRQs are evaluated. It is concluded that MFN tariff reductions
should be the principal market access objective of developing countries in the
negotiations. |
