» Juan Ladron, Guillermo Geisse, Annie Dufey, Nicola Borregaard, IISD,CIPMA/RIDES, 2003. Paper, 131 pages, copyright: IISD,CIPMA/RIDESChile (CIPMA/RIDES): This study comprises two case studies: organic wine and eco-labelled forest products. In both cases it looks at the prospects for exports to the EU—the biggest potential market—trying to assess the barriers posed by the EU’s certification systems. It also looks at the domestic institutions for supporting the two products, concluding that the deficits in this area are more of a barrier than the EU systems.
