By committing to follow an EU Commission approved national program Finland received so called additional guarantees from the EU.

| In this paper, indirect costs of Finnish Salmonella Control Program (FSCP) due to its trade effects are evaluated.

Additionally, it may cause anxiety to suppliers of imports as there are added uncertainties in the import process. As similar requirements apply to domestic suppliers, the program should not be thought of as a technical trade barrier (TBT), however, it may affect trade flows indirectly and effects may be assessed in a similar manner as those of TBT’s. The evaluation of the trade effects is performed using a... |
