Prospects
TPP could make a contribution to liberalizing trade in goods and services: By opening markets • b/w those partners who do not yet have a bilateral
deal between them• in those limited areas in industrial or non-
agricultural goods where trade liberalization has not yet occurred or has been limited
• by untangling the so-called “Spaghetti Bowl” of PTAs
Spaghetti Bowl
Challenges
• USA dominance in TPP rules• Exclusion of China• Market Access, Rules of Origin, Tariff Schedule– to have a single schedule that would apply to all countries; – to have each country prepare its own market access
schedule following negotiations with others; or– to combine the two options and have a uniform schedule
for tariff reductions for non-sensitive products and separate schedules for sensitive ones.
• Structure of PPP• Lack of Transparency
