Not-on-the-whole-higher-or-more-restrictive criterion in Global Commerce Policy
In this regard, not-on-the-whole-higher-or-more-restrictive criterion is: a criterion used in the assessment of whether a customs union is in conformity with the rules of the GATT. The entries on trade policy are here. Article XXIV requires that the common external tariff of a new customs union must not on the whole be higher or more restrictive than the national tariffs of the members were before they joined the union. Much argument has arisen over the method to be used in ascertaining whether the criterion has been met, especially over the question of the use of the average tariff or a trade-weighted average tariff. The entries on trade policy in the Encyclopedia are here. Outcomes clearly can be quite different depending on which calculation is used. The Understanding on the Interpretation of Article XXIV concluded as part of the Uruguay Round clarified the matter. The entries on trade policy are here. It says that an evaluation of tariff levels must be based on an overall assessment of weighted average tariff rates and of customs duties collected.[1]
