Govt working on Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement: Rita Teaotia

07 Sep 2015 Evaluate

With an aim to provide equal opportunity to exporters across the countries, Union Commerce Secretary Rita Teaotia has said that the government is working on forming a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) covering Asean nations, Japan and South Korea. At present, India has 11 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with other countries, which has a huge potential for realising the benefits but only around 28 per cent of it has been utilized.

Teaotia further stated that India needs more and more share for the facilities available under these FTAs to country exporters so that they take the maximum benefit. Besides, she said that 'The idea is that if you are out of multi-lateral agreements, you are at disadvantage in creating a level playing field for the exporters'. The Ministry was working on signing bilateral Free Trade Agreements with Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Additionally, in order to ‘reassess’ the special economic zone (SEZ) amid several special economic zone developers surrendering projects or seeking more time, Teaotia has said that the Union Commerce Ministry will be holding a meeting with the concerned parties including state governments on special economic zone (SEZ), which emerged as a major export hub in the country, on September 10, 2015. SEZs started losing their sheen after imposition of minimum alternate tax (MAT) and dividend distribution tax (DDT). Exports from these zones increased from Rs 22,840 crore in 2005-06 to Rs 4.94 lakh crore in 2013-14. Increase in exports from these zones will help the country in enhancing overseas shipments. The Commerce Ministry is struggling to increase exports as the country's shipments in the last four fiscals have been hovering around $300 billion.
