a. The EU tariff data are only available for 2003 in the UNCTAD TRAINS database, which were not all zeros for African LDCs. EU

It is possible though that such unilateral preferential treatment is not fully utilized due to rules of origin complexities and administrative costs relative to tariffs elsewhere.
