Generalised tariff preferences (2009-2011)

This procedure concerns the EU's system of generalised tariff preferences, which allows certain developing countries to export goods to the EU market with lower or zero customs duties. This mechanism is designed to support economic growth in poorer nations by making their products more competitive in the European market.

This affects exporters in developing countries and EU importers. It establishes the specific rules of origin and tariff reductions applicable between January 2009 and December 2011.
