The purpose is to provide information (datasets, indicators, simulations), objective assessments on key questions in ongoing negotiations (degree of openness of the EU25, efficiency of the EU25 agreements and impact on developing countries, etc.) and to deliver tools for simulating the effect of future agreements on trade and welfare, as well as their impact on the Common Agricultural PolicyThe expected outputs include: a set of detailed data bases on EU25 tariffs, barriers, trade, including those under preferential agreements; similar databases for selected countries; a critical review of existing instruments and analyses; analyses of agricultural trade, tariffs, quotas under preferential agreements; indicators of openness of the EU25 and other developed countries; a general equilibrium model to simulate the impact of trade preferential policy schemes and the effect of multilateral negotiations on trade flows and welfare; an original modelling tool to simulate the impact of trade agreements on the EU25 common market organizations; several sector/region focused partial equilibrium tools; an analysis of the effectiveness of EU25 trade agreements for developing countries, and a comparison with the preferential treatment granted by the US in the case of Africa; prospective analyses of possible future agreements with Mercosur, Russia and their effects on the agricultural sector the EU25; case studies like the impact of deepening the Euro Mediterranean and Balkans agreement on specific EU25 regions and sectors (e.g. fruits and vegetables); an analysis of the effects of future multilateral agreements on existing preferential trade schemes of the EU25...
