Preferential Market Access

Preferential market access in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, preferential market access is: any market access conditions afforded to a trading partner that are more favourable than the non-discriminatory most-favoured-nation treatment. Preferential access may be reciprocal or symmetrical as in customs unions, free-trade areas, or through the now residual imperial preferences. The entries on trade policy are here. It can also be non-reciprocal or asymmetrical, as is the case with the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, SPARTECA and other such agreements.[1]
