These costs are so high that in many cases, companies prefer not to use the deal and just pay the higher tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>New <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/transparency\/regdoc\/rep\/1\/2019\/EN\/COM-2019-455-F1-EN-MAIN-PART-1.PDF?utm_source=POLITICO.EU&amp;utm_campaign=9803c8ffb2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_10_15_12_14&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_10959edeb5-9803c8ffb2-190085733\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">data released by the Commission<\/a> on Monday shows just how bad the problem can be. EU companies trading with Switzerland, an economy highly integrated with the EUs, and which enjoys tariff-free trade under a deal but is not in a customs union with the bloc, only used that trade deal for 77 percent of their exports.<\/p>\n<p>That means exporters accounting for a quarter of EU shipments in value to Switzerland preferred to pay WTO tariffs than filling out the additional paperwork to use the deal.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, 90 percent of EU exports to Turkey, which is in an (incomplete) customs union with the EU, made use of that deal to trade tariff-free.<\/p>\n<p>It gets worse: Only 37 percent of EU exports to Canada, the professed model for Brexiteers, were exported under the CETA trade deal. That means that more than 60 percent of EU exports to Canada are paying higher WTO tariffs even though the companies could ship their goods at lower rates or even tariff-free.<\/p>\n<p>EU business lobbies such as the German Chamber of Commerce have cited excessive paperwork and \u201cbureaucracy\u201d as a reason why companies shy away from using trade deals. Firms need to prove that each of their products comply with \u201crules of origin\u201d \u2014requirements on how much Canadian or EU content has to be in each type of good to qualify for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/why-eu-trade-deal-may-not-deliver-for-post-brexit-britain\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike his predecessor, Boris Johnson wants a free-trade deal with the European Union, rather than a..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":134934,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-134933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
