Websites and Online Databases

The Export Helpdesk is an online service, provided by the European Commission, to facilitate market access in particular for developing countries to the European Union. This free and user-friendly service provides relevant information required by exporters interested in supplying the EU market.

The Market Access Database (MADB), freely available to all economic operators throughout the EU and acceding/candidate countries via the Internet, was set up and has been progressively developed in order to meet the following needs:

  •  to provide basic information of interest to EU exporters (e.g. import duties, related taxes and documentary import requirements applicable in export markets, trade statistics, studies on market access related topics);
  •  to list all trade barriers affecting EU exports by country and by sector and to ensure systematic follow-up of the barrier identified and
  •  to provide an interactive means of communication between business and the European authorities, allowing an exchange of information on-line.
