Drawing
on the available evidence, this paper
examines the cost of compliance with Sanitary
and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures for poor
countries with reference to Africa. It
shows that the burden of cost of compliance
is entirely on the exporters despite the
fact that their capacity for compliance
is limited. More specifically, it is shown
that the main characteristics of the SPS
Agreement and the related measures applied
by main importing countries are such that
they require a complex, difficult and
high cost "SPS" system.
