The Working Group on Trade and Competition under NAFTA Article 1504("WG") is required to report to the NAFTA Commission on issues concerning the relationship between competition law and policy and trade in the free trade area no later than December 31, 1998, and to make recommendations on further work as appropriate. In this interim report, the WG describes its work accomplished to date and its workplan for the remainder of its five year mandate. The WG has undertaken its mandate via the generation of papers which address trade and competition issues in terms of :(i) setting out the contextual framework of the discussion,(ii) the comparison of competition laws, and(iii) specific issues relevant to trade and competition. The studies undertaken to date identify similarities and differences between the competition laws and policies of the three NAFTA Parties, and consider which, if any, of these differences may have implications for trade among the three contracting parties. 3, record 3, English, - Working%20Group%20on%20Trade%20and%20Competition
