EU Trade Barrier Regulation : Tackling Unfair Foreign Trade Practices

The Trade Barrier Regulation (TBR) is one of the three major measures by which the EU protects its external trade. Under the TBR, EU businesses can request the Commission to investigate and take action against unfair trading practices originating in any non-EU country. The book examines: the tackling of unfair trading practices, the tackling of new trade barriers, adverse trade effects, balancing competing interests, and action against illegal trade practices.
