Introduction)

 

EU imports of oranges are restricted not only by an ad valorem tariff but also a de facto minimum import price which is established by the EU entry price system. In addition, the EU applies a comprehensive system of trade preferences, especially for orange imports originating in developing countries. The motivation of the EU’s external market regulations for oranges is to protect EU producers by mitigating international price competition while creating an EU market price which is higher than the world market price. In contrast to this, trade preferences are intended by the EU to create imports from the preference receiving countries. This paper analyzes the relationship between the EU entry price and the actual EU market price for oranges, indicating that the market price is substantially higher than the entry price. In addition, it is shown that EU trade preferences for oranges are highly complex. They are specified, negotiated and repeatedly revised for each preferred trading partners individually. However, findings suggest that the degree of their utilization is rather low. The results of this study demonstrate that, in contrast to its complexity, the effectiveness of the EU import system is low with respect to its goals, i.e. protecting EU producers on the one hand and creating imports from the preference receiving countries on the other. In the event of the conclusion of the Doha round trade negotiations the effectiveness of the import regime will further diminish. Before the background of high transaction costs caused by the entry price system, the full liberalization of orange imports of the EU should be considered as an alternative. In this paper we proceed as follows. Section two describes EU orange imports and import policies for oranges in detail. Section three analyses the effectiveness of the entry price

 

EU IMPORTS OF ORANGES)

 

The EU is the largest orange importer in the world. In 2003, EU orange imports amounted to about 805,000 metric tons (mt), equivalent to 23% of world orange imports (FAO, 2005). In addition, EU intra-trade of oranges, originating in the southern EU member countries Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal, accounted for about 1.6 million tons, of which 74% originated in Spain. The non-EU countries exporting oranges to the EU can be divided into northern and southern-hemisphere suppliers, characterized by distinct orange export seasons. The major northern-hemisphere suppliers are the Mediterranean countries (MED),1 which accounted for 88.4% of total EU orange imports from January to June in the period 1988-2004, and Cuba (Eurostat). In contrast, the orange export season of the primary southern-hemisphere suppliers, including South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Zimbabwe, and Swaziland lasts from June to November. Spain exports the oranges to most of the countries of Europe
