    Introduction

    The republic of Indian maintains an ongoing dialogue with

    the Supranational Institution of the European Union which is separate from

    the bilateral relation with sovereign member states of the European Union.

    In Asia, the positive public perception of Europe is highest in India. India, the

    world's most populous democracy, has strong and effective strategic

     partnerships with rance, U! and "ermany. The foremost areas of 

     programmed India#EU#$% cooperation are in the domains of education &

    cultural echanges, (oint#research in science & technologies and law#

    enforcement.

    India in Europe)

    Europe is an important destination for Indian students see*ing to pursue under#

    graduate and post#graduate education overseas. United !ingdom is the prime

    destination for Indian students within the European Union. Ayurvedic

    traditional medicine and +oga have been popular in Europe since its

    introduction into Europe in the mid#-th century.

    Indian fine arts and culture is well received in Europe. India has regularly held

    cultural events in Euro endian multinational companies operating in industrial

    engineering and IT domains are spreading their mar*ets to cover Europe via

     both /uality#price competition and innovative substitutes.

    during their *ic*#off phase to maimi3e seed money. Some European actors

    have focused their acting careers on 0ollywood movies and by modelling in

    advertisements for the Indian mar*et.

    India has embar*ed on a process of economic reform and progressive

    integration with the global economy that aims to put it on a path of rapid and

    sustained growth. India still maintains substantial tariff and non#tariff barriers

    that hinder trade with the EU. In addition to tariff barriers to imports, India

    also imposes a number of non#tariff barriers in the form of /uantitative

    restrictions, import licensing, mandatory testing and certification for a large

    number of products, as well as complicated and lengthy customs procedures.

      LITERATURE REVIEW

    A large number of empirical studies over the past two decades have shown that

    migration and goods trade flows are complementary in nature, and not

    substitutes, as theori3ed in the preceding literature. In a review of nearly fifty

    studies, it was found that immigration to the host country had a significant

     positive effect on the trade flows between the host and home country, that the

    impact was usually greater for imports to the host country and lower for trade

    in homogenous goods where there was less re/uirement for customi3ation

    :"enc. et al. $; as

    it lowers the transaction costs involved in international trade. These transaction

    costs are mainly informational barriers about *nowledge of foreign mar*ets,

    laws, business practices, languages, customs and culture and migrants provide

    useful s*ills and resources in overcoming these barriers. Through this channel,

    migration can boost both eports from the host country and?or imports to the

    host country :"ould --@, 1ead and 4ies --%, 6unlevy and 1utchinson

    ---, "irma and +u $;;$, 4auch and Trinidad $;;$, 6unlevy $;; country of origin. The

    second channel is the =preference effect> channel whereby immigrants prefer to

    consume certain products of their native countries such that it draws imports to

    the host country. This largely includes trade in food products though it can

    cover any item that is uni/uely produced only in the native region. The si3e of 

    the immigrant stoc* can also affect trade in different ways. or eample, a

    larger immigrant stoc* may increase the number of potential networ*s that can

     be built between the host and home region and increase the volume of 

    international trade :4auch $;;$ but there could also

  • 8/18/2019 Trade Between India and European Union- Final Project

    5/47

     be certain thresholds beyond which migration does not have any substantial

    effect on international trade :Egger et. al $; if they are

    able to control large parts of specific industries and swing trade towards their 

    countries of origin. In India, a couple of studies have eplored the relationship

     between migration and merchandise trade between India and 9est Asia and

    anada respectively. !arayil :$;;B< studied the relationship between

    migration and trade with the si " :"ulf ooperation ouncil< countries in

    9est Asia. India imports most of her oil re/uirements from 9est Asia and is

    involved in large scale =manpower or labour eport> as over five million

    Indians, nearly half the emigrant stoc*, reside in 9est Asia. 9hile these labour 

    flows have yielded substantial remittance flows to India, it also boosted

    eports to 9est Asia through the =preference effect,> to meet the re/uirements

    of the large Indian emigrant population. 9alton#4oberts :$;;-s micro level

    study on the relationship between migration and trade lin*ages with anada

    had several interesting insights. or eample, visa restrictions on mobility of 

     professionals appeared to be the ma(or barrier in hindering the development of 

    trade flows. =Indian language> s*ills was not an important criterion for trade

    development as English was widely spo*en in India and at times business

     people preferred spea*ing in English to connect with a pan#Indian audience.

      The free trade agreement currently negotiated between the European Union

    :EU< and India is due to be the first of a new generation of free trade

    agreements between the EU and an emerging economy. This article addresses

    a number of critical issues in the negotiations and the EU>s response to them.

    These issues include European labour standards and "ATS 5ode @

    liberali3ationG Indian generic medicine production and EU interests in patent

     protectionG EU agricultural subsidies and their impact on the Indian dairy

    sectorG the human rights and democracy dimension of the EU>s foreign policyG

    and transparency issues of the negotiation process.

    The European Union :EU< has invested considerable resources to conduct and

    finali3e free trade agreement :TA< negotiations with numerous trade partners,

    most recently Singapore, 5oldova, "eorgia and Armenia. 1owever, its

    negotiations with large trading partners such as India, the focus of this article,

    have been going on for a considerable amount of time and demonstrate that

    concluding an TA between large economic powers is not an easy tas*. India,

    too, has been actively C and rather successfully C concluding TAs, inter alia

    with ma(or economic powers such as ASEA8, apan, !orea and 5ercosur. Its

    foreign trade policy is characterised by responsiveness to domestic policy#

    ma*ing by politicians and technocrats rather than to international forces. The

    country has ac/uired the reputation of hard#line negotiator with a defensivestrategy, not easily giving in to trading partner demands. AdditionallyG India

    has /uestioned the strategic power of the EU in Asia. 5oreover, the EU>s

     political power may have constrained by increased global multi#polarity, a

    growing economic nationalism, the financial and Euro3one crises and the

    =(udicialisation> of world trade. It seemed clear from the outset that the TA

    negotiations between the EU and India would not be a proverbial =wal* in the

     par*>. This paper addresses a number of critical issues in EU#India

    negotiations. 9e begin by describing the general relationship between the EU

    15/47

    and India and the economic potential of the TA in order to parse out what is

    at sta*e. Afterwards, we address some of the difficulties by highlighting the

    following contentious issues raised by civil society sta*eholders) :i< European

    labour standards and "ATS :the 9T7>s "eneral Agreement on Trade in

    Services< 5ode @ liberali3ationG :ii< Indian generic medicine production and

    this is complicated by divergences in the regulatory framewor* between EU

    economic effects of an EU#India TA showed that both parties> eports would

    following an increase in trade, which would reinforce the competitiveness of 

    Indian producersG EU eports from better access to the Indian mar*et.

    5oreover, each partner>s mar*et share in the other>s mar*et would increase.  urthermore, simulations showed that because of the comparatively higher 

    level of protectionism, India>s mar*et opening would be significantly greater 

    than the EU>s. 1owever, while the EU>s terms of trade would improve

    drastically, their gains would be limited as India is not one of the EU>s largest

    trading partnersG the EU>s lesser liberalisation would prove more favourable

    for India as the EU is India>s largest trading partner.A second commissioned report concluded that trade diversion is a serious

    case of a more profound TA, technological changes, spill#overs between

     positive effects of deeper integration is more li*ely to clearly benefit both

     parties.

    of the EU eternal trade agenda) =utting tariffs on industrial and agricultural

    goods is still important, but the brunt of the challenge lies elsewhere. 9hat

    will ma*e a bigger difference is mar*et access for services and investment,

     protection of I24 :intellectual property protection

    of =unnecessarily high barriers to EU eports> while with the benefits of 

    liberalisation also come responsibilities, such as helping to maintain a global

    regime based on openness. Thus, the EU>s =re(ection of protectionism at home

    must be accompanied by activism in creating open mar*ets and fair conditions

    for trade abroad.As concerns India, and in consistency with the aforementioned

    economic analyses, the EU will see* the reduction or abolition of nontrade

     barriers in addition to traditional tariff reductions. Eamples of such non#tariff 

     barriers include) /uantitative restrictionsG import licensingG mandatory testing

    and certification for a large number of productsG complicated and lengthy

    customs proceduresG sanitary and phytosanitary measures on mineral water 

    and live cattle and poultryG reciprocity concerning temporary admission of 

     products in transitG and mar*et access restrictions to the Indian ban*ing, retail

    and government procurement sectors.In short, the EU>s interests in an TA with India underline the core

    arguments of the eternal policy of the "lobal Europe Strategy) creating

    mar*et access through the lowering of non#tariff barriers, allowing access to

    resources and tapping into new areas of growth such as intellectual property,

    services, investment, public procurement and competition. 7n the other side of 

    the table, Indian goals and ob(ectives in the TA negotiations are to be seen in

    the light of the economic developments in the region. Asia is in a process of 

    economic integration and there are many TAs at different stages of 

    completion. Such integration might mean that in the future, the EU could face

    more challenges to establish a presence in those countries. India is also loo*ing

    for new mar*ets in Asia, Africa and Natin America and, in order to counter the

    effects of the global financial and economic crisis, it has developed a strategy

    called the ocus 5ar*et Scheme aimed at decreasing its reliance on traditional

    mar*ets li*e Europe and the United States. urthermore, if the EU>s bilateral

    approach with regard to ASEA8 members proves successful :as appears to be

    6uring eighties, India>s eport bas*et had a considerable presence of the

    Soviet 0loc and Eastern European countries :8achane and 4anade, --s trade bas*et. In $;;-, India>s eports to and imports from

    EU stood at $F.@ and $B.F billion respectively. The recent increase in Indo#

    EU trade is fueled by the growing trade relationship with both EU F as well

    as the newer EU members, many of which belonged to the former Soviet 0loc.

    The increase in trade volume has occurred both in intermediate goods and final

     products, indicating possibilities of deepened intra#industry trade as well. The

    relative presence of EU and India is each other>s mar*et provides interesting

    insights. EU>s presence in India>s trade bas*et and vice versa. It is observed

    from EU F>s presence in India>s eport and import bas*et has decreased

    considerably over --F#$;; :ha*raborty, $;$s growing trade with 9est Asia and East Asia as a result of increased oil

    imports and the =Noo* East 2olicy> respectively. The decline has been sharper 

    for imports, given India>s growing import of energy products from oil#

    eporting countries. 8evertheless, EU as a whole remains as the largest trade

     bloc partner of India. Interestingly, India is witnessing an increasing trade

    association with the new EU 5ember countries :EU $< as well, in particular 

    in the area of eports since $;;. 7n the other hand, shows that India>s

     presence in EU F>s trade bas*et has improved over the time, but still remains

    at a marginal level. A similar conclusion concerning new EU member 

    countries emerges by loo*ing at India>s trade shares from the same diagram.

    learly both EU and India hold considerable scope for enhancing the

     penetration in each other>s mar*et through the formal trade agreement.

      The importance of India for individual EU member countries and vice versa

    can be understood and indicates that in line with the macro trend, the share of 

  • 8/18/2019 Trade Between India and European Union- Final Project

    25/47

    individual EU member countries barring eceptions li*e 8etherlands are

    declining in case of eports. India>s share in EU member countries on the other 

    hand is showing an increasing trend over the years, although the figure is at a

    modest level. It can be argued on the basis of the observation that both EU and

    India stand to gain by enhancing presence in each other>s> mar*et.

      7ne ma(or concern to be addressed during the negotiation of any trade bloc

    is however the domestic oppositions fueled by the fear of potential losses. The

    current trade balance pattern provides an indicative scenario in this regard.

    9hile India has trade deficit vis##vis EU#F, it en(oys a surplus with respect

    to EU#$ countries. The aggregate trend is repeated at the country#level

    scenario as well, as India en(oys surplus with respect to several EU $

    countries. India>s trade deficit with the EU F countries on the other hand can

     be eplained by their heavy imports of machinery and appliances, electrical

    machinery and e/uipment>s, chemical products, iron and steel products,

     precision e/uipment>s etc. from the latter. 7n the other hand, India en(oys

    trade surplus with respect to EU $ countries, given its eport of automotive

     products, tetile fibers and clothing products, iron and steel products,

     pharmaceutical products, machinery and appliances etc. to these mar*ets andthe limited diversity of the present import bas*et from them

    Interestingly, India>s trade complementarities with the newer EU member 

    countries reveal an increasing trend for eports, while the same for imports

    show a decreasing trend. The result suggests that, EU eport and Indian import

    demand has shown divergence over --F# $;;$, but greater similarity has been

    noticed in the following period. The result underlines India>s eport interest to

     partner EU through 0TIA on one hand, and the EU urge to negotiate hard for

    marginal player in case of transportation and travel service eports, but has

    evolved as a ma(or service provider in case of other commercial services. In

    the last decade, with India>s services imports from EU reaching %. billion in

    Indian services import from the EU mainly occurs in the area of financial

    services, professional services, travel services etc. 7n the other hand, Indian

    interest in the EU mar*et has been mied, as eport earnings from all types of 

    operations, e.g. # eport by 027 units, tourism, setting up of subsidiaries

    national policies differ widely on areas such as re/uirements for laboratory

    accreditation, clinical genetic re/uirements, and novel genetic test

    evaluation. "iven the number and diversity of countries in the EU, it isunderstandably difficult to come to a consensus about how to synchroni3e

    /uality assurance of genetic tests. The challenge for Europe appears to be

    one of harmoni3ing standards, so that not only are all genetic tests in the

    EU held to certain minimum standards, but laboratories performing genetic

    tests can also collaborate on issues such as best practices and rare genetic

    diseases across national borders.

    The scope of genetic tests within the European Union is itself unclear. A recent

    search on the European 6irectory of 68A 6iagnostic Naboratories

    disorders, and their type is determined mostly by the genetic illnesses that are

    most prevalent within the community in /uestion.

    Yuality assurance within genetic testing laboratories is guided largely by a

    with genetic test samples and feedbac* based on the laboratory's analysis of

    report, "enetic Testing) 2olicy Issues for the 8ew 5illennium noted what

    seems to be the prime concern in genetic testing /uality assurance) the lac* of laboratory regulation, and the low numbers of laboratories participating in

    eternal /uality assurance schemes in the EU. A second survey performed by

    the I2TS in its report notes that those laboratories participating in eternal

    /uality assurance schemes may participate in very few schemes. 0ecause these

    schemes are not compulsory, there may be little impetus for a laboratory to

     participate, particularly if they are costly, since participation in the eternal

    /uality assurance programs can re/uire membership or testing fees.Additionally, there are concerns about inade/uate or non#eistent genetic

    counselling of patients and tests that do not meet standards for clinical validity

    and utility.

    oncerns have also been raised about inade/uate coverage of rare genetic

    disorders, which can occur too infre/uently for a single laboratory to develop

    standards specifically for detecting and reporting these genetic abnormalities.

    To address this issue, samples are often sent to laboratories in another country

    where facilities do eist. 1owever, because of discrepancies between

    laboratories within EU member states regarding /uality, reporting, and

     payment mechanisms, it may be difficult for samples to be eamined in a

    different country. An additional concern, related to the testing of rare disorders,

    is the regulation of test made in#house by clinical laboratories, or proprietary

    laboratory tests, which are often the only *ind of tests for rare genetic

    ailments. urrently, tests that are manufactured outside the laboratory are

    sub(ect to regulation under the In#Oitro 6iagnostic 6irective -%?B-?EG

    however, there is ambiguity as to whether tests developed in#house are sub(ect

    to the same regulations.

    the need for harmoni3ing /uality standards within genetic testing. As

     previously stated, there is little information about which laboratories perform

    which tests, so it is /uite clear that a comprehensive networ* of laboratories

    still has yet to be formulated. The 7E6 and the I2TS have noted that current

    eternal /uality assurance measures could be augmented through the

    epansion of current programs, and that an overarching harmoni3ation of 

    regulation would help in the echange of information and samples across

     borders. The I2TS recommends the development of a European HplatformH to

    maintain /uality across the EU member states that would set up a minimum

    standard for genetic testing laboratories and both the ES1" and the E Epert

    countries believe that the eisting law in itself is not fair and (ust as it should

     be. Therefore, it is debatable whether the 9T7 dispute settlement mechanism,

     particularly the 6S0 is capable of ensuring a level playing field and to deliver 

     (ustice in the broader sense of the term, or to ensure (ustice on the narrow

    sense of applying and interpreting the eisting body of law as ob(ectively,

    independently and impartially as possible. 5a(or changes in the 9T7 law, in

    line with the 6oha 6eclaration, are desirable to enable the 6S0 to play as a

    real international trade court capable of promoting and ensuring fairness and

     (ustice for developing countries.

    The multilateral trade system that has been developed in the India#EU is based

    on the principle that all countries are to benefit from a rule#based system that

    treats all countries e/ually. 9hen all countries are treated e/ually, the

     prere/uisites for transparency, predictability and consistency are strengthened,

    at the same time as the ris* of trade distorting measures is reduced. In reality,

    however, differentiation between the developing countries is almost the rule,

    rather than the eception, in all other international trade arrangements.

    Accordingly, there is an apparent contradiction between the principle of non#

    discrimination and e/ual treatment in the 9T7, on the one hand, and rather 

    arbitrary differentiation between the countries in different bilateral and

    regional trade arrangements, on the other hand. These contradictions are

     becoming more apparent with the epansion of the multilateral trade system,

    the accession of more developing countries to the 9T7, as well as the greater 

    interest in different development#related issues. It is in this contet that the

    6oha 6evelopment 4ound offers an opportunity to identify and develop more

    relevant and ob(ective criteria as a basis for a new differentiation between the

    6eveloping countries, as well as between the developing and the developed

    countries, in the EU. This study presents an approach to a new differentiation

     between the developing countries in the EU, together with new and more

    appropriate S6T provisions, in the field of agriculture. This presentation is

    mainly based on empirical data, as well as certain relevant studies on the

    sub(ect. The purpose of this study has mainly been eplorative, and the

    document is, accordingly, not intended to serve as a basis for future

    negotiating positions.

    rom the above research on Trade between India#EU it was observed that)

    i.e. mainly the N6s and the food insecure countries, could, with the support of 

    a new differentiation, be compensated through) duty free mar*et.
