Economic cooperationDownloadContentSummaryThe purpose of this paper is to assess the current status of APECs work on economic and technical cooperation(Eco-Tech), and make suggestions on the ways to strengthen Eco-Tech. The review of Eco-Tech projects reveals that the current Eco-Tech program in APEC faces serious challenges such as duplication of work, passive attitude of member governments toward Eco-Tech, limitation of project designs, and so on. In order to achieve successful economic and technical cooperation, APEC needs to develop more concrete and result-oriented Eco-Tech projects. In addition, earnest support and guidance from the developed member economies are crucial in the process of project development. -

Free tradeDownloadContentSummaryAt the Summit held in Subic Bay, Philippines in 1996, APEC Economic Leaders adopted the Manila Action Plan for APEC (MAPA) which materialized the trade and investment liberalization and facilitation efforts of APEC.
MAPA consists of three major parts: Individual Action Plans (IAPs), Collective Action Plans (CAPs), and the Declaration to Strengthen Economic and Technical Cooperation (Eco-Tech). IAPs specifies the voluntary plans of eighteen APEC member economies for trade and investment liberalization and facilitation in fourteen areas such as tariffs, non-tariffs, investments, customs procedures, intellectual property rights, and so on. CAPs specifies the trade and investment liberalization and facilitation measures that will be collectively pursued by the member economies. The declaration to strengthen Eco-Tech selects six areas of major focus: human resource development, capital markets, infrastructure, technology, the environment, and small and medium enterprises. MAPA has been effective since January 1st of 1997. Therefore, the trade and investment liberalization efforts of APEC are now being actively implemented.
The review of IAPs shows that member economies proposed various positive measures to be implemented in 14 areas of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation. Even though some member economies submitted more advanced action plans than others, current IAPs is a positive initial step towards the freer trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region. -
