Abstract

Technical regulation belongs to means with a strong influence on international trade flows. The regulation is a barrier to trade that is autonomously implemented by governments and becomes the most used non-tariff barrier for protection of domestic markets. Technical regulation has both positive and negative effects on entrepreneurs and consumers. The problem lies in complexity of the system of technical standards and norms that is not internationally regulated in a binding manner. In order to overcome these negatives, governments and nongovernmental organizations and subjects cooperate on harmonization of technical standards or are proceeding through recognition of complementarity of standards. Technical regulation has a potential to become a barrier to free movement of goods - it is why the article deals with the mentioned problem in the European Union including institutions and relation to the national legislation of Member States.
