Trade is a major source of growth and jobs in Europe. With the Market Access Strategy, the European Commission in close cooperation with Member States and business makes sure that trade opportunities created through multilateral and bilateral negotiations are translated into real market access for European exporters.
In 2007, a renewed Market Access Strategy was established, which consists of two instruments: Market Access Partnership and Market Access Database.
The Market Access Database is an interactive, free online service with information for more than 100 countries on the import tariff and internal taxes, the import formalities (e.g. customs procedures and requirements) with samples of all the necessary forms, and the most important trade barriers faced by EU exporters abroad.
The Market Access Strategy pays particular attention to the needs of SMEs who want to export to or invest in third countries.
