Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prospects for Foreign Trade in Fruits, Vegetables, Tree Nuts The application of the United Kingdom for membership in the European Economic Community is of great interest to exporters of u.s. Horticultural items. The United Kingdom is an extremely important offshore market for these items. Its duties are significantly lower than the proposed Common Market external tariff for most horticultural products. So there is a danger that the u.k. Import duties will be increased significantly in any customs merger with the eec countries. This problem is extremely important also to many competing fruit producers in the Common wealth who at the present time enjoy preferential treatment in the U. K. Market. Developments continue to take place in the eec countries that will affect trade in horticultural items. Although the negotiations concerning the eec external tariff structure were not completed by November 1961, the member countries are gradually advancing their individual tariff structures toward the levels proposed as the common external tariffs and gradually. Reducing their tariffs on imports from other member countries'. At the same time, standards of packaging and quality are continuing to be developed, which will govern horticultural trade within the eec. The establishment of' food health regulations relating to the use of chemicals on fruit and vegetable items is continuing in many Western European countries. The European Economic Community is initiating an endeavor to harmonize the food health regulations of the individual countries in the eec. As nontariff barriers to trade [have been reduced, increasing emphasis is being placed by u.s. Fruit exporting industries upon market development programs. Several programs have been placed on a continuing basis during this past year. In addition, some horticultural industries which have not heretofore participated to any significant extent in the European market have initiated programs in an endeavor to create market opportunities abroad.
