About the product
UNCTAD’s GSP Handbook series promotes greater awareness among exporters and government officials in developing countries on trading opportunities available under the GSP and a better understanding of applicable rules and regulations with a view to facilitating their effective utilization. The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) scheme of European Union was created following UNCTAD recommendations in 1971 and has been extended several times until today. This handbook provides a general explanation of the European Union's scheme to allow officials and users responsible or involved in GSP issues to gain a better understanding of the scheme.
