| description | The purpose and aim for this thesis is to determine if the European Union uses tariffs on cocoa, coffee and maize and the Common Agricultural Policy in such a way that it protects European farmers and workers on behalf of farmers and workers in less developed countries. The aim has been fulfilled both by a theoretical study and by calculations tariff escalation and the effective rate of protection on the three crops.
The findings from the study implicate that EU protects farmers and workers inside EU from competition from outside. For cocoa and coffee is the use of tariffs not as common as it is for maize. There exists nevertheless tariff escalation and effective rate of protection for all three crops, but it is not a big as it explains why the export to EU mostly is raw commodities. Probably are there other regulations, so called non-tariff barriers, that is an obstacle for developing countries so export value added coffee and cocoa products to EU.
The time frame and the level of the thesis has made it impossible to extend the work to also include non-tariff barriers |

The time frame and the level of the thesis has made it impossible to extend the work to also include non-tariff barriers Denna kandidatuppsats har som syfte haft att ta reda på om Europeiska Unionen skyddar bönder och livsmedelsindustri som odlar eller processar kaffe, kakao eller majs från konkurrens utifrån unionen via tullar och med den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken. Detta syfte har uppnåtts via dels en litteraturstudie över tidigare forskning på området, den gemensamma jordbrukspolitikens historia och EU:s handelspolitik men också via att på räkna på tulleskaleringen och det effektiva skyddet på kaffe, kakao och majs. Slutsatserna från forskningen är att EU använder tullar och den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken på ett sådant sätt att inhemsk industri och inhemska jordbrukare premieras framför den utanför EU. Dock har skyddet sjunkit kraftigt sedan ratificeringen av Uruguay Rundan och MacSharry reformen av den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken i mitten av nittiotalet. När det gäller kakao och kaffe är tullnivåerna så pass låga att det antagligen finns andra saker, så kallade icke tull barriärer, som hindar de stora producentländerna av kaffe och kakao att exportera förädlade kaffe- och kakaoprodukter till EU. För majs är tullarna fortfarande höga och på ett mer synligt sätt skyddas europeiska majsbönder från konkurrens utifrån. Det finns flera ingångar för att fortsatt forska kring detta område. Det skulle bland annat vara intressant att se över tid hur exportflödena tull EU från de stora producentländerna av kaffe, kakao och majs har förändrats när tullnivåer har förändrats. Det vore också intressant att kolla på vilka icke tull barriärer som finns och räkna på hur mycket dessa skyddar industri och lantbrukare i Europa. 2016-07-13 First cycle, G2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/9416/1/svenungsson_g_160831.pdf Svenungsson, Gustaf, 2016.
