Abstract

External factors, such as peculiar interpretations of rules by officials or even their personal interventions, can complicate the conduct of trade policy. Interests of competing European industry can interfere with objectives. Conflicting policies within a company, or bureaucratic politics within the industry, can cause confusion and are elements for a risk analysis. Internal company conflicts and interests sometimes overshadow external problems. This Chapter gives various examples of internal barriers to use of trade policy instruments. These internal obstacles interacted with challenges posed by external factors, such as lobby by exporters, industrial European opponents, member states and European institutions and their handling of rules or sometimes their unpredictable policies. Many internal complications prevent trade policy from being successfully conducted, and contribute to the downfall of an industry in distress. Negative consequences are generally unnoticed because they do not belong to the management repertoire that is popular in such a period. Management books generally discuss conditions for success and rarely the causes of distress and failure. Some of them are accounted for in this Chapter.
