"
New Zealand, since 1 July 2001, offers duty-free and
quota-free access to all imports from LDCs.
The European Union, Norway and
Switzerland provide duty-free, quota-free market access for
all LDC exports (except arms). A transition period is in place
for a few specific products." |

"
Ahead of
WTO entry, China can still limit agricultural imports with
quotas and prohibitively with high tariffs. the result is
artificial shortages even in good years, which leads to
hoarding that pushes prices still higher. Drought across north
China the past two years has further supported many
prices." |

"
There are substantial inequities in the existing international
trading system. […] Despite progress over the last 50 years,
developed countries maintain significant tariff and non-tariff
barriers against the exports of developing countries
[…which…] are most damaging in areas of key importance[…],
such as agriculture, textile and clothing, while the use and
threat of 'trade defence' instruments (e.g. anti-dumping)
creates further obstacles". |
