Kivonat: The EU was already Hungary's most important trading partner by the end of
the 1990s. Hungary managed a rapid increase in its exports to the EU,
especially in the second half of the decade. This was accompanied by a
considerable change in the product structure, with the share of
high-technology products increasing strongly to a level high by international
standards and a rapid fall in the share of low-tech, resource-intensive and
unskilled labourintensive goods. Statistical calculations reveal that
Hungary, uniquely among the CEE countries, shows clear specialization
patterns or revealed comparative advantages in high-tech products on the EU
market.
These trends could not have occurred without rapid adaptation of technical
standards and upgrading of product quality. The main finding of the survey
conducted by the authors, therefore, is that TBTs (technical barriers to
trade) with the EU were no longer significant for Hungarian firms by 2000.
Seventy-three per cent of firms reported no difficulties in exporting to
the EU. The expectations of companies were optimistic, with the majority
forecasting a positive impact from technical harmonization and the
elimination of borders.
The sample was then divided into groups with defined characteristics. One
was the sector affiliation of the firm. TBTs proved to be highest in the
machinery and textile and clothing sectors. When ownership was examined, it
was found that technical requirements presented fewer difficulties to FIEs,
which had to invest less in redesigning their products than the domestic
group. In several cases, FIEs belonged to large multinational networks,
which facilitated their export activity. The third characteristic examined
was the export-intensity of firms. Export-intensive firms in the sample
were larger, had a higher average proportion of foreign ownership, and
faced fewer difficulties in exporting than the non-export-intensive group.
However, what difficulties they do face are mainly TBTs.
