ABSTRACT

We indicated in chapter 1 that a key feature of the SEA was the commitment to complete the internal market by 31 December 1992. Some 300 individual measures were identified in the Cockfield Report (later reduced to 279) as being necessary before a truly single market could be said to exist. In other words, though tariffs and quotas had long been removed by the nine1, many NTBs to free and undistorted movement of goods and services still remained in existence. In this chapter we discuss four particular NTBs.
