Eiropas Savienība un tās tirdzniecības partneri
ES jau gadiem ilgi cenšas samazināt darbietilpīgu un zemas vērtības produktu ražošanu, lai specializētos augstākas vērtības zīmolu preču ražošanā. Tā kā ES ekonomika ir atvērta, tirdzniecībai ir ļoti svarīga nozīme. Lai pārvarētu šķēršļus, kas apgrūtina tirdzniecību, un nodrošinātu vienlīdzīgus konkurences apstākļus saviem uzņēmumiem, Savienība ved sarunas par vairāku brīvās tirdzniecības nolīgumu (BTN) noslēgšanu. ES ir arī viena no Pasaules Tirdzniecības organizācijas (PTO) dibinātājām un svarīga ...

Pasaules Tirdzniecības organizācijas (PTO) darbs vērsts uz to, lai nodrošinātu uz noteikumiem balstītu starptautiskās tirdzniecības sistēmu.

Jaunattīstības valstīm piemērojamie tirdzniecības režīmi

Vispārējā preferenču sistēma (VPS) nodrošina dažām precēm no jaunattīstības valstīm preferenciālu piekļuvi ES tirgum. Preferenciālo tirdzniecības režīmu ar Āfrikas, Karību jūras reģiona un Klusā okeāna valstīm nodrošina ekonomisko partnerattiecību nolīgumi (EPN), savukārt vismazāk attīstītajām valstīm (VAV) piemēro iniciatīvu “Viss, izņemot ieročus”. Šīs shēmas atbilst Pasaules Tirdzniecības ...

But the behaviour of other global powers is increasingly calling this ability into question. China and the United States, especially, do not separate economic interests from geopolitical interests in the same way the EU does and are increasingly trying to gain geopolitical advantage using their economic might.
