The ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), established in 1992 to promote investment and make members a competitive production bloc in global markets, only becomes operational in 2008. It is implemented through a common preferential tariff scheme covering a broad range of agricultural products, iron, steel, petroleum and manufactured goods. Efforts are under way to accelerate AFTA's time-frame - while pressure is growing on ASEAN to merge AFTA into APEC and the World Trade Organization.

OBS

La Zone de libre-échange de l'ANASE (ZLEA), instaurée en 1992 pour promouvoir les investissements et faire de ses membres une force de production compétitive sur les marchés internationaux, ne sera opérationnelle qu'en 2008. Elle passe par un régime tarifaire préférentiel commun couvrant une large gamme de produits agricoles, le fer, l'acier, le pétrole et les biens manufacturés. Des efforts sont actuellement déployés pour accélérer la mise en œuvre de la ZLEA au moment même où l'ANASE subit des pressions en vue de fusionner la ZLEA à l'APEC et à l'Organisation mondiale du commerce.
