The European Commission has issued the latest edition of the publication entitled Trade and Investment Barriers Report (TIBR). This looks at the amount of progress made in removing barriers to trade by local companies with third countries and emphasizes that the EU must continue urging further reforms to trade. The report gives some attention to the situation regarding barriers to market access in Russia, where there are still some restrictive practices that are incompatible with WTO rules. The report claims that Russia has incorrectly implemented some of the tariffs required by WTO rules and that although some corrections have been made in the past year there are still problems with some items including agricultural products.
