What modalities can be used for eliminating Non-Tariff Barriers ?
A 4: It depends on the type of measure concerned. For example, the green lane for CEPT products was introduced to facilitate customs clearance. Customs surcharges on CEPT products were removed in 1996. Technical barriers are to be reduced through transparency, harmonisation of standards and mutual recognition agreements. Creating a window for competition and market access by other members might help in the elimination of monopolistic measures or state monopoly.
