specific tariffs - an approach which could be repeated and would thus further diminish the
relevance of the EU entry price system.3

In the light of the low effectiveness of the EU import regime for oranges along with high
transaction costs involved in its administration and further development, the unlimited and
free access of the MEDs to the EU orange market could be considered as an alternative. This
may be extended to grapes and possibly to other fruits and vegetables. In addition, the
abolition of the entry price system for some products would reduce the incidence of a clear
non tariff barrier to market access which has survived the Uruguay Round process of
tariffication, but which is in clear conflict at least with its spirit.
