Abstract

This paper examines the implications for EMENA of EEC trade policy. Following an analysis of EEC trade agreements with EMENA countries, the paper has shown that EMENA's trade performance in the EEC has been far from uniform. While Turkey and Morocco, who carried out economic reforms, increased their market share to a considerable extent, the European socialist countries and Iran lost market shares. The paper further indicates that the comparative advantage of the EMENA coutntries lies in labor intensive products, with the low wage countries having good prospects in unskilled labor intensive products and the socialist EMENA countries in skill intensive products. At the same time, the investigation of export prospects would have to be carried further by providing greater product and country detail.
