Brief description of the Agreement:  
 
AAP.CE 35 (Articles 7 and 8 of the TM80)  
 
Partial Scope Economic Complementarity Agreement No. 35 (AAP.CE 35) aims to set in place 
a legal and institutional framework for cooperation and economic and physical integration 
conducive to the creation of an enlarged economic area to facilitate the free movement of 
goods and services and full use of productive factors.  
 
In addition, it is intended to form a free trade area between the Parties within a maximum 
period of 10 years, through the expansion and diversification of trade and the elimination of 
tariff and non -tariff res trictions that affect reciprocal trade. For this purpose, a trade 
liberalization programme detailed in Title 2 of AAP.CE 35, Articles 2 –12, is established.  
 
Likewise, AAP.CE 35 contains provisions in the following domains: origin regime, unfair trade 
practices, defence of competition and of the consumer, settlement of disputes and customs 
valuation, among others.
