Probable consequences for the czech republic in implementing the acquis communautaire in the sphere of commercial policy
The article brings some empirical conclusions regarding the possible consequences of implementing of the common commercial policy of the European Community (EC) for the Czech foreign trade and the whole economy after the CR's EU accession. The analysis comes to conclusion that the impacts will be differentiated according to various groups of countries (depending on commercial-policy approach of EC toward the concrete group). However, the general consequences of acceptance of EC commercial policy (of course not the overall consequences of EU accession) should be very moderate. Nevertheless, the competitive pressures in some labor-intensive branches (especially textiles) could increase in a very limited extent as a result of acceptance of EC preferential trade systems toward various groups of developing countries (e.g. ACP countries, Mediterranean countries).
