THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE VARIOUS SYSTEMS TO KEEP LAYING HENSin premium would reduce the cost increase to consumers and increase that to producers whosegross margins would be reduced.The impact of an increase in demand for processed and alternatively produced shell eggs is that bothproducer and consumer surplus is increased 39 . In both cases there is a small reduction in the quantityof caged shell eggs produced because producers produce more of the other types.7.2.3. Trade flowsFour scenarios were examined to test the effects of potential reductions in import tariff levels of10%, 20% and 50%. These represent potentially realistic alternative outcomes from the currentDoha Round trade negotiations and should be read in conjunction with our analysis of the egg sectorin third countries which suggests that in certain cases these sectors could compete with those in theEU.The results are presented in Table 7.5 for the EU-15 and Table 7.6 for the EU-25.Table 7.5: Changes in import tariffs for EU-15Units 10% 20% 50%Mean SD 1 Mean SD Mean SDProducer Surplus Euro (millions) -71.27 1.71 -141.71 3.49 -347.04 9.38Consumer Surplus Euro (millions) 79.80 1.84 160.58 3.66 407.72 9.10Total Surplus Euro (millions) 8.53 0.14 18.87 0.26 60.68 1.23Quantity Shell % 0.84 0.09 1.67 0.17 4.18 0.44Quantity Processed % 1.53 0.16 3.05 0.32 7.63 0.80Quantity Alternative % -1.22 0.15 -2.43 0.31 -6.09 0.78Price Shell % -1.76 0.03 -3.52 0.05 -8.80 0.13Price Processed % -1.70 0.03 -3.40 0.06 -8.51 0.16Price Alternative % 0.42 0.22 0.84 0.45 2.11 1.13Quantity Shell 3rd Country % 1.04 0.09 2.09 0.18 5.22 0.45Quantity Processed 3rd Country % 1.42 0.11 2.83 0.22 7.08 0.56Source: <strong>Agra</strong> <strong>CEAS</strong> estimates.Note: 1 Standard Deviation.39Subject to the caveat concerning the premium payable for alternatively produced eggs cited above.98
