The Influence and Countermeasure of Technical Barriers to Trade on Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products from China to EU

With the change of global economy and international trade environment, developed countries began to take more covert and diversified trade protection measures, such as technical barriers to trade. As an important export region of mechanical and electrical products in China, EU has adopted strict technical barriers to trade in recent years. It restricts the export of mechanical and electrical products in China by formulating strict technical regulations and standards, complicating conformity assessment procedures, enhancing packaging and labeling requirements and setting intellectual property barriers. On the basis of elaborating the current situation of the mechanical and electrical products in China export to the EU and the main technical barriers to trade in the EU, this paper analyzes the impact of technical barriers to trade on mechanical and electrical products in China export to the EU, and combined with the results of the impact analysis, put forward the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.
