Decent Essays

M1 In this I am going to assess the methods to increase trade between countries and the methods to restrict trade between countries. When asses the methods of encouraging and restricting trade I will talk about the purpose for the methods of promoting and restricting international trade, identify how and why they might be used and I will decide how useful each method is giving appropriate reasons for it.

This is a government-imposed trade restriction that limits the number, or in certain cases the value, of goods and services that can be imported or exported during a particular time period. Quotas are used in international trade to help regulate the volume of trade between countries. They are sometimes imposed on specific goods and services to reduce imports, thereby increasing domestic production. For example there have been proposals by the European Commission to reduce quotas on the fish exported by Scotland. This includes cutting west coast haddock and cod quotas by 25% and 50% correspondingly. Quotas for prawns, one of the most valuable catches, would be cut by 9% in the North Sea and15% in the west. This makes West Sea more advantaged than the North Sea. This benefits the EU as they are trying to reduce dumping in the countries where fish is being imported. On the hand these quotas will encourage smuggling of the fish into the country which means it will not be taxed and the government will be losing money on it
