Market Access Issues: EU-Bangladesh Trade Regime
The report identifies that while the EU's 'Everything But Arms' (EBA) policy has removed tariffs and quotas for Bangladesh, SMEs still face significant non-tariff barriers. Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), including standards and certification, are the most dominant obstacles across all four studied sectors. Government-related administrative procedures and strict rules of origin also hinder trade, particularly in the knitwear and pharmaceutical industries. The study concludes that without capacity-building and technical assistance, SMEs will struggle to utilize duty-free trade regimes.
