Free trade means complete absence of barriers
Following is a question by Dr the Hon David Li Kwok-po and a written reply by the Secretary for Trade and Industry, Mr T H Chau, in the Legislative Council today (Wednesday):
Question:
At the last meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) on November 15, 1994, all members agreed to implement an official timetable to remove all trade and non-trade barriers and to promote "free trade" within the Asian region. However, the definition of "free trade" differs among the APEC members, with some considering that trade liberalisation should be on non-discriminatory grounds. Will the Government inform this Council of its own definition of "free trade"?
