SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Green barriers can produce both positive and negative impact on international trade. However, the number of these barriers keeps growing without any monitoring system. This research will analyse the impacts of green trade barriers on Vietnam and European Union trade relationship. The study presents an important observation: the requirements to upgrade technology to meet exactly the technical regulations and expenditure for conformity assessment actually increase the production costs for small and medium companies in the short-term. However, the proper adjustments to these requirements will bring about some long-term benefits. Understanding the Good Agriculture Practice will help to improve the quality of products as well as the productivity, and this will open an access to developed markets to gain higher profits.
