Abstract:
This work examines resistance to the harmonisation of performance, safety, and labeling criteria within the EEC. A theoretical treatment of possible protective and non-protective reasons for the delays encountered in implementing the provisions of the General Programme of 28 May, 1969 and the Council Resolution of 17 December, 1973 is put forward. The methodology is designed to permit an examination of specific issues to determine the influence of protectionism in explaining delays in product harmonisation, subject to various assumptions. A series of examples shows that non-protective sources of resistance may be of more importance.
