This study has established that several NTBs continue to exist, and some have persisted. The NTBs that have persisted for more than three years include a long list of customs documentation requirements, cumbersome formalities, and limited testing and certification arrangements. Other NTBs that still exist include: un-standardized weighbridges; several road blocks; lack of recognition of individual country’s standards; and the existence of several un-harmonised standards. | | Détenteur du copyright | Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC) | | Copyright URL | http://www.eprc.or.ug | | Taille du fichier | 2578862 MB | | Format du fichier | PDF | | [ Voir/télécharger document ] |
