Without our help? It is India that has given pakistan MFN status...pakistan is still too scared to give us a similar status.

MFN for Pakistan is another Charade of Hindu India ... India has non-tariff barriers which every country is complaining .. unlike others we don't care for Indian products out rightedly .. Just see what type of hidden non-tariff barriers of India exist and still Indian claims to give MFN status to Pakistan ! Not to mention for us dialgue is part of trade with India .. Since you claim terrorism is not correct .. than by dialogue only Indian can start enjoying open trade relations ! Why is India so afraid of dialogue ! Wonder why ?

Dealing with non-tariff measures in developing countries, case study of India
Mehta, R. / Research and Information System for the Non-Aligned and Other Developing Countries (RIS), India , 2005
Non-Tariff Measures (NTM) is one mechanism countries use to restrict imports. NTM include quantitative restrictions, tariff quotas, voluntary export restraints, orderly marketing arrangements, export subsidy, export credit subsidy, government procurement, import licensing, antidumping/countervailing duties, and technical barriers to trade.

The ascend of NTMs holds special significance to developing countries like India as they have been encountering difficulties in accessing developed country markets. Therefore, this paper seeks to:

identify and trace the type structure of NTMs affecting Indias exports
examine these commodity-wise/category-wise with the main focus on developed country markets
suggest or recommend policy options.
The paper starts by highlighting that Indian exports do face non-tariff barriers in major export markets especially the US, EU, Japan and other developed countries, which significantly hinder Indias exports to these markets. The author then moves to illustrating the range of barriers, which confront Indian exporters.

Trade barriers (tariff and non-tariff) in destination countries have a significant impact on Indias exports because these measures impose additional costs on such exports. However, the author could not estimate the impact of non-tariff measures on Indias exports, since there is no reliable estimate of these extra costs or "tax equivalence" due to these measures and there is no systematic information available on NTMs faced by Indias exports.

The picture that emerges from this analysis is that Indian businesses continue to be hunted by a variety of restrictions in the form of standards and compliance costs. The author makes some policy recommendations to help Indian policy makers respond to these challenges:

a multilateral trade forum that includes moving NTMs on top of the WTO agenda, plugging loopholes in the multilateral rules to make the system less restrictive as well as improving the empirical database
putting in place bilateral and/or regional FTAs
internal measures need to be taken to deal with issues such as import restrictions, the lack of coordination between the different departments and the lack of adequate processing facility and the basic infrastructure like storage and transportation.
Finally the author stresses on the importance of raising the concern over non-tariff measures from a "shouting match" to a meaningful dialogue at international forums.
