Trade and Investment Barriers Report (2015)

Summary:

Report published by the European Commission in March 2015 on trade and investment barriers, as well as ongoing negotiations.

Further information:

The 2015 Trade and Investment Barriers Report (also known as TIBR) addresses a selection of key barriers faced by European Union (EU) companies on the markets of the EU's six strategic economic partners. Its main objective is to raise awareness of the most significant trade restrictive barriers and reaffirm the importance of tackling such barriers in a focused and concerted way.

This fifth edition of the TIBR first provides an overview of ongoing EU trade and investment negotiations; it then takes stock of key trade and investment barriers maintained by the EU's strategic economic partners in 2014; and concludes with a section outlining the different strategies deployed by the EU to address these cases.
