Australia/United States Free Trade Agreement
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
8 pages in length. As with myriad other countries around the world, the United States has secured a trade agreement with Australia in order to fortify a number of economic interests on both sides. The extent to which the 2003 FTA would establish a "unique opportunity to advance the interests of Australia's exporters" (Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2003) is both grand and far-reaching, not the least of which represents forward moving economic growth and a boost to employment. Agriculture, in particular, reflects one of the highest priorities given to any sector of commerce that had heretofore been a "significant market access barrier" (Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2003) prior to implementation of the United States/Australia FTA. Additional markets in line for expansion include manufacturing, services, investment, intellectual property rights, electronic and telecommunications commerce, government procurement and movement of people. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
