Background Paper: Investment Liberalization in the EU-ASEAN FTA

Author

Abstract

The EU is undoubtedly pursuing the maximum investment liberalisation at all costs. The actual measures that some ASEAN countries have taken in the past could hardly fit into many of the FTAs signed to date with other developing countries. Although ASEAN countries are trying to hold a position in their talks with the EU of not signing any agreement that would require them to change their existing laws, it is unclear whether those countries that agree to a lower standard in their service schedules or in investment and capital controls will find their hands tied when some situation arises that would require them to adopt restrictive policies on such flows.[FGS OP NO 5]
