National Interest Analysis: New Zealand-Thailand Closer Economic Partnership Agreement

7. Future Protocols

While no protocols are envisaged at this point, it is intended that the Agreement will be amended following the conclusion of negotiations on liberalisation of trade in services, and in light of further liberalisation in the area of trade in goods and investment. Additional disciplines on government procurement may also be agreed and the special agricultural safeguard mechanism is subject to review.

Within the ambit of technical barriers to trade (TBT) there is provision for the development of Annexes that set out agreed principles and procedures relating to technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures, as well as Implementing Arrangements that set out the details relating to the implementation of future TBT Annexes.
