Bulgaria, Romania or Denmark can't reduce their import tariffs on tomatoes from a specific EU country... because tariffs between EU countries are already 0. Moreover, only Eurozone countries have fixed exchange rates, the other ones - which include almost all former Soviet block members - can still change those rates.
- dogma1138 9y agoHaving tarrifs at zero is a problem. You assume that Denmark would enforce the same or lower tarrifs than a poorer nation on some basic goods. Smaller nations also can have negative import tarrifs on some goods in order to allow thier importers to compete with bigger consumers. Which you cannot do in the EU. The EU as a whole also has trade agreements with many of the regional non EU members. These argeemnts also enforce protective tariffs to reduce the competitiveness of non EU imports. The EU also requires its trade partners to meet EU regulations which increase the prices of exports to begin with.
