Workshops identify non-tariff measures
THE grains industry, along with other sectors, has been impacted by an increase of non-tariff measures (NTMs) while tariffs have reduced through the expansion of free trade agreements (FTAs).<br /><br />NTMs describe regulatory tools and policy measures, other than customs tariffs, that have the potential to affect the international trade in goods.<br /><br />Grain Trade Australia chief executive officer Pat O'Shannassy said in most cases NTMs were legitimate technical requirements used to protect consumers and the environment, but when they were unjustified, or not in-line with international standards and/or acted to protect domestic industries, they could act as barriers to trade.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.farmweekly.com.au/story/6586265/workshops-identify-non-tariff-measures/" target="_blank">Read the full story online at the Farm Weekly website.</a>
