description Trade policy measures are an acknowledged means of development politics for some time and determine the relationship between industrial and developing nations. Tariff preferences that are granted to developing countries by industrialised countries unilaterally are of special significance since the seventies. In at least 13 states, respectively community of states, as for instance the European Community, are Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) operated. The European Community plays an important role in this particular regard. 'The primary objective of the GSP is to contribute to the reduction of poverty and the promotion of sustainable development and good governance. Preferential tariff rates when exporting to the EC market enable developing countries to participate more fully in international trade and generate additional export revenue to support them in developing industry and jobs and reducing poverty'.
