Abstract
According to Potgieter and Van der Vyver (1995) existing import tariffs provide adequate protection against imports, with the result that the abolition of quantitative import control will not impact heavily on the dairy industry. This article shows that import tariffs did not restrict imports of dairy products. The main reason for this was the high levels of subsidisation of dairy products in especially the EU. If the domestic milk producer and the dairy industry are not protected against subsidised imports the industry will experience serious problems despite its efficiency.
Volgens Potgieter en Van der Vyver (1995) bied bestaande invoertariewe voldoende beskerming teen invoere sodat die afskaffing van kwmtitatiewe invoerbeheer nie 'n groot impak op die suiwelbedryf sal hê nie. In hierdie artikel word aangetm dat invoeretariewe nie invoere beperk het nie. Die redes daarvoor is hoofsaaklik die groot mate waartoe suiwelpmduksie in veral die EU gesubsidieer word. Indien die Suid-Afrikaanse melkpmdusent en suiwelbedryf nie teen gesubsidieerde invoere beskenn word nie, sal die bedryf ten spyte van sy doeltreffendheid emstige probleme ondervind.
