Download or read book Regulatory Cooperation for Trade in Services in the EU and US Trade Agreements with the Republic of Korea written by Eugenia Laurenza and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article compares domestic regulation provisions in the field of international trade in services for two economic integration agreements with the Republic of Korea: the Free Trade Agreement between the United States of America and the Republic of Korea (2011) and the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Korea (2011). It examines the subjects of transparency, regulatory cooperation, competition law and policy and their institutional context in order to assess the depth of integration generated and the level of compatibility that results between the agreements. The article determines that many of the subjects are treated in a softer law manner that establishes ongoing systems of cooperation in order to realise the agreements' objectives of addressing regulatory barriers for foreign services and service providers. In some cases these softer law approaches may reflect the policy space parties choose to retain in their own domestic systems for balancing trade and regulatory objectives. For most of the subjects, the approaches employed are similar, suggesting that the two agreements are rendered generally compatible for the types of regulatory activities incurred by the common signatory. The two subject areas of transparency and sector-specific domestic regulation present some more legally binding and actionable elements and there are some differences between the agreements in how these elements are addressed. For these, there is more risk of regulatory fragmentation as between the agreements and questions can be raised as to how this is resolved by a national regulatory system. Finally, the article considers some implications for the multilateral trading system of the World Trade Organization presented by the provisions examined in these agreements. To the extent that softer regulatory approaches emphasise the building of agency relationships over time, one can question whether this is a likely possible model of a larger group of WTO members. For those subjects that present somewhat more rigorous legal approaches, one can more easily consider how these models might translate to the WTO discussion as potential benchmarks for enhancing multilateral trade in services.

Download or read book Handbook of Deep Trade Agreements written by Aaditya Mattoo and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep trade agreements (DTAs) cover not just trade but additional policy areas, such as international flows of investment and labor and the protection of intellectual property rights and the environment. Their goal is integration beyond trade or deep integration. These agreements matter for economic development. Their rules influence how countries (and hence, the people and firms that live and operate within them) transact, invest, work, and ultimately, develop. Trade and investment regimes determine the extent of economic integration, competition rules affect economic efficiency, intellectual property rights matter for innovation, and environmental and labor rules contribute to environmental and social outcomes. This Handbook provides the tools and data needed to analyze these new dimensions of integration and to assess the content and consequences of DTAs. The Handbook and the accompanying database are the result of collaboration between experts in different policy areas from academia and other international organizations, including the International Trade Centre (ITC), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and World Trade Organization (WTO).
Download or read book The Korea EU FTA written by Simon Baier and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 1 July 2011 the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Korea will become effective. The pact dedicates Chapter 11 to competition and requires the contract parties to undertake to apply their respective competition laws so as to prevent the benefits of the trade liberalization process in goods, services and establishment from being removed or eliminated by anti-competitive business conduct or anti-competitive transaction, and to remedy or remove distortions of competition caused by subsidies. This article is an investigation on the impact of the Korea-EU FTA for Korean and European competition law enforcement. It shows that the FTA contains enforcement rules that go beyond the “Competition Agreement” between Korea and the European Community of 2009. Accordingly, Chapter 11 FTA broadens the scope of matters which now are subject to “prompt discussion” in consultation procedures between Korea and the EU at the request of either party. Furthermore, as far as the competition matter concerns subsidies, the full range of dispute settlement mechanisms under the WTO Agreements remains available. This article also argues that rights under Chapter 11 FTA can be enforced by individually concerned European companies (i.e. private enforcement) under the European “Trade Barrier Regulation”. It has been established by prior proceedings under the Trade Barrier Regulation that subsidies can amount to an obstacle to trade with adverse effect on a European company operation in Korea, and the Trade Barrier Regulation has already been an effective tool for companies to initiate an investigation by the European Commission against alleged unlawful subsidization of Korean companies under the WTO Agreements. It will therefore serve as such a tool when facing stricter rules on subsidies of Chapter 11 FTA. As far as other anticompetitive actions are concerned, the Trade Barrier Regulation will also be available in principle, but its final measures will be limited to cooperation and consultation procedures outlined in Chapter 11 FTA.

Download or read book The European Union and the Evolving Architectures of International Economic Agreements written by Ottavio Quirico and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union (‘EU’) is promoting a suite of innovations in international economic regulation—among them, reforms for secure and sustainable investment, a comprehensive approach to the mutual recognition of professional qualifications, a viable carbon border adjustment mechanism, heightened intellectual property rights protection, the arm’s length principle in taxation, and an increased commitment to non-economic vales. Through a critical analysis of key regulations and policies, this volume explores the evolving architectures of international economic agreements in light of EU practice. A comprehensive analysis indicates that novelties are rooted in geoeconomic considerations, through which a fundamental shift is underway towards the adoption of comprehensive bilateral trade agreements. Whilst innovation has the potential to significantly harmonise cross-border regulatory frameworks, it can also trigger significant fractures, particularly when applied restrictively and asymmetrically. Arguably, the ‘Brussels effect’ will to a certain extent foster a progressive development of international economic regulation, while in some respects being constrained by the status quo of the international economic regime. This volume is part of the Jean Monnet project Third Country Engagement with EU Trade Policy led by the ANU Centre for European Studies at the Australian National University, and supported by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ actions. The project seeks to explore and improve understanding of the EU’s evolving trade policy and its implications for third countries, including Australia and countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
