sertoglu_ozturk.doc The Customs Union A customs union is an area where all the trade barriers such as the tariffs and quotas on goods and services are abolished for all intra trade between customs union countries. Consequently a customs union is far more important and comprehensive than a “free-trade area model” of economic union since it guarantees that all the imports coming from other countries are treated in the same manner (McDonald & Dearden, 1999). Customs union is widely discussed in the sense that the terms of trade between the two sides have not evolved in favour of Turkey. www.geocities.com /ceteris_paribus_tr/sertoglu_ozturk.doc   (3382 words)

A Concise Encyclopedia of the European Union --F-- A free trade area differs from a customs union in that each of the member countries may have its own individual tariffs or other trading arrangements with third party states, whereas in a customs union there is a uniform external trade regime. Another feature of a free trade area, such as that constituted by NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement), is that it carries no federal political implications. The Community's competence in the fiscal area had hitherto been regarded as covering only indirect taxes, but in 1997 the Commission drew up plans for a voluntary code of conduct aimed at countries with a 'significantly lower than average' business tax rate. www.euro-know.org /dictionary/f.html   (4985 words)

current The relative stability of customs enforcement from FY 1999 through the first quarter of FY 2004 strongly contrasts with the trends for the agency in the late-1980's and most of the nineties when its prosecutions, convictions, etc. moved sharply higher, driven mostly by a heavy new emphasis in the drug area. This growth rate for customs inspectors is among the sharpest staffing increases of any key DHS enforcement area. Although the U.S. Customs Service was moved from within the Treasury Department to the Department of Homeland Security, the day-to-day work record of the criminal investigators assigned to customs matters in the post- 9/11/01 years is strikingly similar to that in the period immediately before the attacks. trac.syr.edu /traccus/latest/current   (11728 words)

Customs Unions Hence the trade creation effect of the customs union is the sum of (2) and (4), and the trade diversion effect is equal to area (5). Customs unions between a limited number of countries is a clear violation of the principle, but Article XXIV of the GATT treaty gives the right to form regional customs unions if certain conditions are satisfied because the overall aim of GATT is to promote international trade. Customs union theory builds on relatively strict assumptions such as perfect competition in commodity and factor markets and hence it is often referred to as orthodox customs union theory. www.maths.tcd.ie /local/JUNK/econrev/ser/html/customs.html   (2768 words)
