ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement: Tailored Expert Reports
27-Jan-2010
On 1 January 2010, the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement ("FTA") came into effect which offers real benefits for many companies. As you might expect there is a process which needs to be complied with to take advantage of those benefits as the they are not available automatically.

To assess the value which may be available to you, AFG Venture Group has secured the services of former Australian Government FTA negotiator and legal counsel Mr. Danny Burrows, who offers practical, strategic and tailored FTA Opportunity Assessments. These Assessments will outline how your key products and markets are impacted by the FTA and how you can access the benefits offered. These Assessments are not generic advice. The reports distil the complex legal FTA text into a brief, practical and customised guide to extracting the value across your supply chain.

The FTA offers real potential advantages for any business which undertakes cross border commercial activities, and in many cases a "tweaking" of your current arrangements to comply with the FTA could secure these advantages. Tapping into these benefits will be crucial to maintaining and improving your competitiveness in the region.
