Study on non-tariff barriers to EU-US trade and investment

On 30th of April 2008, the high-level EU-US meeting in Washington DC decided an in-depth study should be launched to look at the non-tariff measures (NTB) in trade and investment between the EU and US. The study should identify the real economic relationships between the EU and the US and the barriers to the bilateral trade. / www.ntb.ecorys.com /

As indispensable part of the methodology, the company Ecorys - assigned to the study, prepared a business survey , designed to listen the firms and businesses active in trade or/and investment with EU or/and US and take note of the general levels of restrictiveness and of the specific barriers that cause most challenges.

The business survey is already available for filling in online form until the 13th of june 2008 at www.ntb.ecorys.com (under Consultations). Easy to fill, friendly-made, it wouldn't take more than 30 minutes.

The survey is supported by Mr Peter Mendelson, Trade Commissioner in the EC.
