Dispersion of EU agricultural tariffs
This table shows how differently products are affected by tariffs. One can see that many meat, dairy and suggar products receive tariff protection of more than 50%, and some even more than 75%. Only very few vegetables get comparable levels of protection, and all tariffs on fruit are below 50%.
