The aim of this paper is the analysis of the importance of the beverages sector and concrete trade facilitation measures for CEFTA 2006 economies, in general and for their intra-regional trade, in particular. The paper analyses both trade in beverages of CEFTA 2006 economies and heterogeneous group of barriers that exporters and importers are faced with at the CEFTA 2006 beverages market. Additionally, the paper points to possible solutions for elimination of those barriers through the implementation of selected trade facilitation measures. As the most of problems are related to the trade facilitation and marked as problems that could be easily removed, the most recommendations are based on the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement measures.References
