To be successful, EU exporters need to make a substantial effort to understand and comply with all trade formalities and regulations that apply to their products in the European Union (EU) and in third country markets. The EU, and the European Commission in particular, supports these efforts by promoting transparency of rules, coherence of international regulations and standards, and mutual recognition in full respect of the right of governments to pursue their legitimate public policy objectives. The EU has an ambitious agenda cutting across several policy areas. It aims to promote international agreements for better cooperation, and convergence or harmonization of legislation. The Commission’s Market Access Database also helps clarify export conditions for EU companies by providing product-specific information on tariffs, import requirements and statistics for over 100 partner countries.
