The new European Union Generalised System of Preferences: a workable compromise in the EU - but a better deal for developing countries?
Article Abstract:
The European Union Generalised System of Preferences adopted in Dec 1994 will make many improvements to the existing trade preference scheme, but it remains to be seen whether less developed nations will benefit, particularly in light of declining most-favored-nation tariffs. The new system will remove quantitative restrictions on duty-free amounts, implement donor-content concepts that will relax origin requirements and establish easier temporary withdrawal provisions. This system covers all industries included in prior agreements except agriculture.

The GATT Panel Report on the EC anti-dumping proceeding concerning audio tapes in cassettes; back to basics in the concept of dumping?
Article Abstract:
The Panel Report on the European Community's anti-dumping measures should be adopted by GATT nations, as it would reform the analysis of dumping margins. A GATT panel issued the report on the EC's use of duties against Korean and Japanese cassette audio tapes. The report criticizes the EC's method of analysis of dumping. The proper definition of dumping, which the report utilizes, means foreign sales at less profit than domestic sales.

On very sensitive cauliflowers and the (p)re-cooked EU Agricultural Generalised Scheme of Preferences
Article Abstract:
A comparative analysis of the industrial Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) and the new GSP for agricultural products is developed. The new GSP differs from the industrial GSP in various aspects, such as products covered, the beneficiary countries, tariff modulation and graduation mechanisms. However, questions on whether or not the new GSP is beneficial to developing countries still remain.
