In 2014/2015 , CCS chaired
negotiations for the Working
Group on Competition under the
Regional Comprehensive Economic
Partnership (“RCEP”). RCEP is a
mega trade agreement involving the
10 ASEAN member states, as well
as Australia, China, India, Japan,
New Zealand and South Korea. This
accounts for a collective market
CHAIR FOR THE WORKING GROUP ON COMPETITION FOR RCEP
of more than three billion people
and a combined GDP of about
US$20 trillion.
Four rounds of negotiations were
held in Japan, Myanmar, South
Korea, and Singapore in June
2015, August 2015, October 2015,
and February 2016 respectively.
Good progress was made on the
negotiations as parties achieved
broad consensus on various articles
in the competition chapter relating
to basic principles, measures to
address anti-competitive activities,
and cooperation, among others.
CCS will continue to lead the
negotiations to realise positive and
mutually-beneficial outcomes for
all parties.
