AFTA Reader

Subtitle : Volume 1: Question and Answer on the CEPT for AFTA

Abstract :
This first issue of the AFTA Reader, a specialized quarterly publication of the ASEAN Secretariat on AFTA, marks a significant step in our joumey towards a free trade area by the year 2008. This publication will be our main vehicle for providing interested parties with updates on AFTA. Since the start of the ASEAN Free Trade Area, we have had many queries about AFTA. This issue of the AFTA Reader has been designed to provide answers to some of the questions on the CEPT for AFTA and the Products and Programmes of Tariff Reduction under the CEPT Scheme. It also provides copies of three basic documents - the CEPT Agreement, the Interpretative Notes, the Operational Procedures and the Rules of Origins. In our subsequent issues we will be focussing on detailed analysis of the CEPT Product Lists, global developments affecting AFTA as well as abstracts of works done by regional institutions and other international organizations on the CEPT for AFTA. We will also elaborate on the progress in the "AF7A Plus" areas, giving readers the latest information on other measures taken to complement and supplement the removal of tariffs and other barriers such as the harmonisation of standards and customs procedures, reciprocal recognition of tests and certification of products and the promotion of venture capital. At this time of intensified ASEAN economic cooperation, publications like this one are important in increasing awareness of the various activities of ASEAN and in -sh6wing how ASEAN is forging even closer links to enhance intra-ASEAN economic cooperation. I hope that the AFTA Reader will provide a more detailed and clearer picture of the developments concerning the implementation of AFTA.
