Abstract: The study is oriented by two goals. First, it aims to measure the magnitude of thetariff used by the European Union (EU) on the agricultural products. Second, it triesto identify the existence of tariff discrimination among the groups of agriculturalproducts in the European tariff set. The hypothesis is that there is tariff discriminationin the EU agricultural tariff schedule. Theoretical and empirical studies have alreadysuggested that there are groups of products particularly protected by the EU agriculturaltariffs. The present work has one main contribution: the discussion related to theeffects of using different prices to the conversion of EU specific and composed tariffs.The study points to certain sets of agricultural products targeted by the EU trade policy:especially meat, sugar, residues and waste from food industries; and, at second,tobacco, meat preparations, cereals, cocoa and preparations, cereal preparations, dairyproducts, and organic quimical products.
