Study - TTIP: Opportunities and Challenges in the Area of Technical Barriers to Trade, Including Standards - PE 542.225 - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

0
0
The study explores the possibilities for reducing the costs of technical barriers to trade (TBTs) between the US and the EU, found in standardisation, technical regulations and/or conformity assessment procedures and acceptance of their results. This is important for many industrial sectors but also horizontally as TBTs generally. The EU proposal is ambitious, but without a US text, feasibility is hard to assess, given that the two systems differ considerably. A preliminary attempt to construct the US demands and some partial solutions for TTIP are discussed. The ‘living agreement’ is critical for an effective TBT chapter and needs to be given time, as long as it is driven by an agreed ambitious objective of reducing TBTs as much as possible.

In-Depth Analysis - TTIP: Opportunities and Challenges in the Area of Public Procurement - PE 542.226 - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

0
0
In TTIP the EU has offensive interests in greater coverage of public procurement markets in the USA. Consumers stand to gain from lower prices and better use of public funds. There is an opportunity to negotiate better access for EU suppliers. EU smaller or medium sized suppliers would especially benefit from more transparent US state and city public procurement procedures.

In-Depth Analysis - TTIP: Challenges and Opportunities for the Consumer Protection - PE 542.222 - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

0
0
This in-depth analysis examines options for regulatory cooperation in TTIP and assesses its challenges and opportunities for consumer protection. It looks at existing regulatory approaches illustrated by reference to a range of case studies drawn from other briefing papers in the TTIP series for IMCO. Based on established practice and on the Commission’s recently published proposal on regulatory cooperation, the briefing eventually discusses the likely approach in the TTIP. Despite desirable opportunities there are also significant challenges of reconciling the different regulatory philosophies ahead. In broad terms it finds that the European Parliament’s regulatory powers will not be affected by the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, but suggests that the EP will need to ensure that the EP’s priorities shape the TTIP regulatory cooperation agenda and not the other way around.

IMCO adopted its Opinion to the ENVI Committee by 20 votes in favour, 9 against and 1 abstention. 75 amendments and 2 compromise amendments were tabled to the draft opinion. CAM 1 concerning fuel consumption meters and gear shift indicators for LD and HD vehicles was adopted. CAM 2concerning methane as a greenhouse gas was also adopted. Furthermore, the IMCO opinion clarifies the areas of the scope of vehicles touched by the regulation and test cycles. On the scope, the opinion changes the vehicle mass limit (Article 1) and on test cycles the opinion contains a review of the accuracy of test cycles on a regular basis (Article14). The opinion is in line with the Commission's proposal to broaden the scope of emissions also including the greenhouse gas methane.

Study - The Transatlantic Trade and investment Partnership (TTIP): Challenges and Opportunities for the Internal Market and Consumer Protection in the Area of Motor Vehicles - PE 542.234 - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

0

The expected effects of TTIP on the European automotive industry will be significant, but depend strongly on the scope of trade liberalisation. In the field of motor vehicles TTIP should go far beyond the degree of trade liberalization reached in previous trade agreements between the EU and other countries. Tariffs should be eliminated and also non-tariff barriers (NTBs) reduced. Regulatory cooperation to reduce NTBs is promising particularly in the automotive industry. Beside harmonisation, international standards and cooperation on new technologies, another promising approach is mutually recognition of aspects of regulation based on sound evidence of the equivalence of outcomes. However, the challenge is twofold: identifying unnecessarily trade distorting NTBs while at the same time respecting EU regulatory sovereignty, democratic legitimacy, and the high level of EU standards in passenger and environmental safety.
