Title Study of the Consequences of the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures on ACP Countries

Description The Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (the SPS
Agreement) came into force in 1995. The EU has always maintained a strong body of
legislation related to consumer health and safety in the area of foodstuffs. However, in
recent years these SPS measures have increased significantly to the extent that they are
regarded as a barrier to imports from ACP countries whose exporters find difficulty in
complying with the EU requirements. These difficulties are compounded by the
continuing erosion in the level of ACP competitive advantage derived from EU
preferences.
The study examined what particular EU SPS legislation gives rise to this situation and
attempts to identify the channels through which its effects are transmitted, and assesses
the impact on ACP country exports and infrastructure and on individual
exporters/growers/processors, etc.
