Policy-making in the EU: the bananarama story, the WTO and policy transparency

Brent Borrell

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1997, vol. 41, issue 2, 14

Abstract: The EU banana policy is manifestly bad. But despite a healthy policy transparency process and comprehensive public criticisms of its extreme inefficiencies, its costs have been growing progressively worse and more disruptive of international commerce. This raises serious doubts about the WTO process, and the policy transparency process itself. At the very least, the EU bananarama story told here means we should not be complacent about either.
