Canada and South Korea recognize the growing economic importance and changing nature of this technologically advanced sector. To facilitate trade with the digital economy, the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement provides for both parties to refrain from applying tariffs, royalties or other taxes on electronically sent digital products. In addition, the agreement contains provisions to build confidence in the digital environment, such as the online protection of personal data for e-commerce users.B. We are changing their approach in the following way. First, we expect a total utilization rate for primary production, as there are only minimum imported inputs in primary products or minimum processed products. In addition, commercial agricultural raw materials companies are generally very large multinationals capable of using trade preferences. Given that primary sector trade tends to be subject to massive trade, it is considered that the fixed costs of ROC documentation are negligible on the basis of value. For secondary products (i.e. industrial products), we expect a utilization rate of 63% for tariffs. This maintains some customs protection for tariff lines that are in principle fully liberalized (for example. B for a 5% tariff, the remaining tariff would be 0.37% on 5% or 1.85%). “Our industry depends on the competitiveness of exports and access to international markets and the creation of jobs and sales in our own country.
This agreement is essential to restore a level playing field for Canadian companies in the South Korean market, which is particularly important given the significant growth that the aerospace industry will experience in the Asia-Pacific region in the coming years. We commend the Government of Canada for this work and thank its representatives for their continued commitment to strengthening Canadian competitiveness in international markets. Overall, we find that CKFTA leads to positive but relatively weak growth in economic well-being and economic activity. Gains are balanced between Korea and Canada. Korea`s GDP is growing by 0.06% and prosperity by $1.6 billion as soon as the effects of the agreement are reflected in the economy. Comparable increases for Canada are 0.05% of GDP and $1.7 billion in social benefits. Ensuring early cooperation on food security, animal and plant life and health strengthens the protection of Canadians while avoiding misunderstandings that could limit the free movement of goods. Canada has successfully negotiated an agreement that places Canadian companies in a fair market against major competitors who already enjoy preferential access to the South Korean market. The agreement also opens up market access for Canadian exporters and investors by removing non-tariff barriers. The agreement will provide Canadians with more temporary entry obligations than other partners in the South Korean Free Trade Agreement, which will help facilitate business flow between the two countries. The GTAP model does not allow for an international labour movement; Therefore, the liberalisation of Mode 4 cannot be assessed directly.
Similarly, consumption abroad cannot be recorded, so mode 2 is also not included. We focus on the two main modes of service traffic, both of which are involved in CKFTA: Mode 1 and Fashion 3.
