3 THE FUTURE OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS
The major issues are International Trade in Agricultural Products Market Access – The WTO describes tariff reduction as market access International Trade in Services covered in the General Agreement of Trade in Services (GATS) Trade-Related Intellectual Property (TRIPS) Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMS)

4 Regionala initiativ GATT introducerade MFN, men ett undantag var den regionala klausulen. Most favored nation => a trade concession to one country has to be given to all other countries as well. The regional clause = groups of countries willing to start trading arrangements may do so without MFN if they form a substantial free- trade zone within their bloc.

13 NAFTA AND OTHER U.S. TRADE AGREEMENTS
In 1989 the U.S. and Canada signed a free-trade agreement that phased in tariff reductions over 10 years Covered trade in goods and services, investment and eliminated national preference on most government contracts Freed U.S. and Canada from the few remaining restrictions on trade In 1992 this was broadened to include Mexico

14 APEC Samarbetsorganisationen för Asien och Stillahavsregionen (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) har 21 medlemmar: Australien, Brunei, Chile, Filippinerna, Hongkong, Indonesien, Japan, Kanada, Kina, Malaysia, Mexiko, Nya Zeeland, Papua Nya Guinea, Peru, Ryssland, Singapore, Sydkorea, Taiwan, Thailand, USA och Vietnam. Apec-medlemmarna har tillsammans omkring 41 procent av världens befolkning och står för drygt hälften av världens bruttonationalprodukt och 44 procent av världens handel

15 APEC Apec enades vid sitt helgtoppmöte (13/11/2010) i Yokohama om att nu ta konkreta steg för att bygga vidare på det frihandelsembryo som än så länge kallas TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership). Där är ännu bara Brunei, Chile, Singapore och Nya Zeeland med, men giganten USA och flera andra stormakter är uttalat intresserade. Det största frågetecknet är Kina, som tros vara tveksamt till förhandlingarna om en förvandling av TPP till FTAAP (Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific) eftersom USA i ett sådant forum kan sätta ytterligare tryck på Peking att låta valutan yuanen försvagas mot dollarn.
