New Trade Agenda

New trade agenda in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, new trade agenda is: a term used by some to describe the market access issues still needing resolution. From this perspective, the traditional trade agenda is represented by efforts to reduce border measures consisting of tariffs and non-tariff measures. The new trade agenda, on the other hand, is aimed more at impediments inside the market, such as standards, excessive reliance on sanitary and phytosanitary measures, and private and public anti-competitive practices. To some extent, the new trade agenda overlaps with the new trade issues, but in other respects it seeks to promote optimal results from existing multilateral trade agreements. See also technical barriers to trade.[1]
