Would you like to know more about any regional trade agreements that may apply to your international business? Here is a useful resource:
Regional Trade Agreements, or RTAs, help promote trade in certain areas.
“If we take into account RTAs which are in force but have not been notified, those signed but not yet in force, those currently being negotiated, and those in the proposal stage, we arrive at a figure of close to 400 RTAs which are scheduled to be implemented by 2010. Of these RTAs, free trade agreements (FTAs) and partial scope agreements account for over 90%, while customs unions account for less than 10 %.”
