CEFTA Related Projects / Aid for Trade -Implementing CEFTA; Overcoming Non-Tariff Barriers, OECD

The overall objective of the project which is financed by the Government of Hungary is to assist the CEFTA Parties to derive the full benefits of the implementation of CEFTA through the reduction/elimination of non-tariff barriers, particularly but not exclusively, those that impact on main trade flows among the Parties.

Specific objectives include:

• Identify, classify and prioritise those NTBs that affect the main trade flows among the CEFTA Parties with particular emphasis on those identified by the business community as the most pressing;
• Identify the main NTBs affecting trade and investment with neighbouring EU Member States and Turkey;
• Provide the CEFTA sub-committee on TBTs and NTBs and the CEFTA Joint Committee with a draft action programme to reduce/eliminate the prioritised NTBs.

The project is being carried out through a series of analytical studies and workshops.
