Treaty Summary:

The CEP is a bilateral treaty which will establish a free trade area between New Zealand and Singapore. It is a comprehensive agreement that covers goods, services, investment and technical barriers to trade in goods. The treaty complies fully with World Trade Organisation requirements for the establishment of a free trade area and goes significantly beyond WTO provisions by, amongst other things, eliminating all tariffs, prohibiting export subsidies for all goods, including agricultural products, and expanding services commitments.
