Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
Singapore’s role as a trade partner and signatory in the ASEAN region is well-documented. In fact, the very first free trade agreement (FTA) made officially valid by Singapore in 1992 was the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) scheme, that cut down on inter-ASEAN import duties and customs costs. This agreement, known as the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA), opened the door for companies set up in Singapore to trade freely and conveniently with other ASEAN countries.
Since then, Singapore has entered into bilateral FTAs with key trade partners such as the U.S, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and several other countries. These FTAs have, over the years, eased the market entry and enabled significant market presence of products from signatory countries. The US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (USSFTA) for instance has increased U.S services exports by more than 100 per cent within 10 years of its ratification.
As a core member of ASEAN, Singapore has also acted as a regional signatory to the establishment of 10 regional free trade areas, including ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand, ASEAN-China and ASEAN-lndia. Singapore isn’t stopping there - it has signed two globally significant FTAs, namely the European Union- Singapore Free Trade Agreement (EUSFTA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans¬pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
The EUSTFA is the first bilateral FTAthat the EU has signed with an ASEAN member nation, and once ratified will facilitate greater market access, more investment protection as well as the removal of non-tariff barriers for European companies to trade in the ASEAN region. Meanwhile, the CPTPP will facilitate market entry for companies based in member nations of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), such as Canada and New Zealand
