The "new generation of Free Trade Agreements" announced by the Commission of the European Community signals an intention to substantially extend the geographic coverage of its reciprocal, preferential trade agreements. We review the development of regionalism in East Asia by listing the existing bilaterals and those under negotiation and conclude that the EC's initiative will have minimal effect in this region. However, globally, there are two super-hubs, namely the EC and the US, each with its network of spokes and associated rules. They are likely to compete to design any new multilateral rules which are WTO-plus.

There are more than 50,000 international treaties, 600 of which cover multilateral trade issues. They help to create a secure legal environment that will attract investors and boost trade, laying the foundation for sustainable growth, jobs and income. Developing countries are facing problems, however, because there are hundreds of such multilateral treaties, with many more coming into being, and many organizations dealing with them. While it is important for countries to choose the right treaties from those already in place, they could also take part in developing the many treaties that are still being created. Until recently, the focus of international organizations has been on making trade rules, without really considering how easy -- or difficult -- it is for the rules to be applied ...

The principal elements of the European Commission's recent Communication on its external trade policy (titled "Global Europe") are assessed in this paper. Certain shifts are discernible in the Commission's position, in particular as they relate to the prominence given to market access objectives and to bilateral and regional trade agreements. Even so, this latest Communication is probably best thought of as an evolution in the Commission's trade policy and not an abrupt break with the past. Particular attention is given here to the potential payoffs from the proposed bilateral trade negotiations with selected Asian nations and the need for further thinking on the Commission's part with respect to the multilateral trading system.
