Almost every country in the world is engaged in at least one preferential trading arrangement (PTA), and the World Bank (2005) estimates that the average WTO member is engaged in six. In addition, the major OECD trading partners are engaged in non-reciprocal preferential access schemes (the so-called “Trade Preferences for Development”) through the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) and more recently the “Everything but Arms” (EBA) initiative for the EU and the African Growth Opportunity Act for the US, both giving duty-free-quota-free market access. Simultaneously the US and the EU are engaged in multiple PTA negotiations, sometimes with other PTA groups rather than single partners. | |||
An important issue for trading partners is to know how much they are “giving away” or “receiving” in preferential access and to have a compact representation of this “effective” market access. This column presents a graphical approach to displaying effective market access and applies it to the recent proposed ASEAN-EU PTA. | |||
