Abstract
Standards for food safety, animal and plant health in Brazil, New Zealand and
the USA are similar to those in the EU. Ukraine is in transition towards
comparable standards. These topics are already incorporated in the framework
of trade agreements. Standards for the environment, animal welfare and labour
conditions are lower than in the EU or lacking in these countries. These topics
are not or only marginally incorporated in the framework of trade agreements
