Abstract

The purpose of origin rules is to achieve the effectiveness of trade policy measures. In their allocation of production, companies take them into account. The origin rule for television sets intended to safeguard the effect of quantitative restrictions (QRs). After the elimination of residual QRs, the origin rules became a nuisance resulting in serious damage to European industry eventually causing its demise. They represent serious barriers to international trade, are highly discriminatory and are in conflict with international agreements. They have also provoked fraud and anti-fraud cases, which may be attributable to bad intentions, as well as a deficient rule. The history of origin rules comprises examples in which they served company trade policy objectives, creating additional, although preferential, trade. The cases are explained.
