Since World War II nations have formed alliances for reasons of security and trade. Countries have seen international integration as an appropriate approach to resolving domestic and international political issues, improving their welfare by both transforming their infrastructures and increasing their foreign trade. While the majority of these relationships are straightforward d Turkey's relationship with the European Union is more complex due to differences in religion and, at times, political ideology from other Union members. As a candidate country Turkey has made advances towards the full membership of the European Union with the customs union being the most significant. The impact of customs union membership is discussed and the effects of the customs union on Turkey's trade and economy are examined from a perspective of different economic theories.

Purpose - This paper explains how free trade agreements (FTAs) work as a building block to achieve global free trade and be better than other trade regimes. Design/methodology - This paper utilizes a trade liberalization game setup. Three countries choose a trade agreement strategy based on a given trade regime. Trade agreement is made only when all member countries agree. The paper evaluates each trade regime concerning FTAs and customs union (CU) by area size of global free trade equilibrium on the technology or demand gap between countries. Findings - FTAs make global free trade easier. In this game, there are two main reasons for failure to reach global free trade. First, a trade regime with FTAs makes non-member face difficulties in refusing trade agreements in the existence of a technology gap than a trade regime without FTAs. Also, a trade regime with FTAs causes it harder to exclude non-members in the existence of a demand gap than a trade regime with only CUs. Therefore, a trade regime with FTAs can work better in reaching global free trade. Originality/value - The concept of "implicit coordination" was used, which assumes that FTA members keep external tariffs for non-members the same as before an FTA. Without this consideration, FTA members lower their tariffs to non-members, and it makes non-member refuse free trade easier. FTA can prevent it sufficiently only with implicit coordination. This makes the trade regime with FTAs more effective to reach global free trade.

Purpose - This paper explains why free trade agreements (FTAs) are more popular than customs unions (CUs) in respect of tariff coordination. Design/methodology - This paper employs an equilibrium theory of trade agreements with tariff coordination. I set up three-country partial equilibrium model with competing exporters. Domestic and exporting firms decide their optimal production under given tariffs and each country levies its tariff under the trade agreements. I found stability of implicit tariff coordination and preference of each country between an FTA and a CU. Findings - I demonstrate that two FTA members can keep their external tariffs higher than separately decided external tariffs by keeping the status-quo. This implicit tariff coordination can benefit each member through trade diversion. In a CU, each member country must have a common optimal external tariff and it must incur costs because each country may seek different external tariffs for their own national welfare. The benefit of implicit coordination in an FTA and the cost of explicit coordination in a CU account for the popularity of the FTA. Originality/value - This paper uses the idea of implicit tariff coordination in trade agreements. In a CU, tariff coordination is explicit and mandatory. All member countries must have a single common external tariff for each good. On the other hand, in an FTA, each country establishes its external tariff with the goal of maximizing its own welfare. However, each country can also coordinate "implicitly" by keeping the status-quo after establishing an FTA.

The aim of the study is to assess the asymmetry of influence of factors of economic growth of national economies, which are included in the integration. Unlike previous research, the scientific significance of the obtained results consists in the use of a new method of study - external demand as a factor of economic growth, disaggregated into two components. The first is net exports mutual trade in goods within integration associations. The second is net exports of foreign trade in goods outside the integration. By use of these methods we have evaluated the contribution of these factors on economic growth of the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space (CU/CES), as well as Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus. In the conducted analysis of scientific research was based on the fact that the economies of the member (CU/CES) are very different in scale, economic potential and volume of foreign trade. Based on this research we conclude: integration is developing successfully and efficiently only with the rise of the national economies of the member countries; to enhance economic growth and competitiveness of the countries of the Eurasian integration it is necessary to increase the volume of mutual trade of member countries of this integration.

유럽연합(European Union)은 1952년 7월, 파리조약(Treaty of Paris)을 체결한 이후 1958년 1월 로마조약, 유럽공동체(EC 조약), 1993년 11월 마스트리히트 조약(Treaty of Maastricht), 1999년 5월 암스테르담 조약(Treaty of Amsterdam), 2002년 10월 니스 조약(Treaty of Nice), 2009년 12월 리스본 조약(Treaty of Lisbon) 조약을 체결하여 유럽의 정치 및 경제적 통합을 모색하여 왔다. 현재 EU는 28개 회원국을 두고 있으며 2012년 기준으로 총 5억 명 이상의 인구, 역내 GDP가 16조 6,090억 달러에 이르며 세계 GDP의 3분의 1을 차지하는 세계최대의 경제권이다. 우리나라와는 3위의 교역상대국이다. 지금까지 우리나라는 주로 EU에 자동차, 반도체, 휴대폰, 조선과 그 부품 등의 공산품을 수출하여 왔다. 그러나 EU가 최근 미국과 FTA를 적극 모색하고 러시아와도 경제 협력을 도모하며 중국 기업들도 EU로의 진출을 적극 추진하고 있어 우리 기업의 입지가 위축될 여지가 있는 실정이다. 또한 EU는 평균 수입관세율이 낮고 비교적 가장 개방된 거래 시장이지만 크고 작은 진입장벽은 상존하여 EU의 관세 및 비관세 장벽에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 EU 시장 개척을 위한 가장 초보적이고 기초적인 연구로 EU의 관세 및 비관세 장벽(Non-Tariff Barriers)에 관해 검토하여 우리나라 기업에게 시사점을 제시하기 위해 연구되었다.

The purpose of this paper is to study of WTO regulations related FTA such as Understanding on the Interpretation of Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade(GATT) 1994 and General Agreement on Trade in Service(GATS). In this study, the First introduced FTA rules of WTO in the chapter 2. The WTO agreement includes the "General Agreement on Tariffs an Trade(GATT) 1994". This instrument, known as "GATT 1994", is based on upon the original General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade referred to as "GATT 1947". The Second analyzed the relations between FTA and Article XXIV of GATT 1994 in the chapter 3. The Article XXIV of GATT 1994 is an agreement between the distinctive members for liberalizing trade. The Article XXIV of GATT 1994 is consist of three parts such as customs unions, free-trade area, and interim agreements that WTO is referred to as "Regional Trade Agreement(RTA)". There is a difference between the customs unions and the free-trade area. In the customs unions rules, the members should have the same tarifficatio and the same trade provision against non-members, but in the free-trade are a rules, the member is not necessary to have the same tarifficatio and the same trade provision against non-members. But, the both rules have a liberalization of trade in a common as a revoking tariffs and the government regulations for interfering with trade. In this case, however, the both rules include an inconsistency ele ment under WTO rules such as Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment(MFN) and National Treatment on Internal Taxation and Regulation(NTITR). This study reviewed neither inconsistency nor consistency on the both rules with the RTA of WTO under Article XXIV of GATT 1994. The Third analyzed the relations between FTA and Article V of GATS under WTO in the chapter 4. The GATS is a rule of WTO for the growing importance of trade in services for the growth and development of the world conomy. The GATS is a new rule rather than GATT's rule for concerning goods trade. The Article V of GATS under WTO is a rule that makes based on upon the Article XXIV of GATT. Therefore, If it is to be examined the Article V of GATS, it should be referred to a and an interpretation of the text of the Article XXIV of GATT. However, the Article V of GATS is on the undeveloped stage compare to the Article XXIV of GATT. Because, the statistics of WTO showed that the RTAs under the Article XXIV of GATT have 150 cases completed between nations, but the RTAs under the Article IV of GATS have 10 cases completed between nations. The Forth examined the interpretation of FTA rules under WTO in the chapter 5. Concerning the consistency issue of customs unions and free-trade area under the Article XXIV of GATT, the working parties in customs unions and in free-trade area have been reviewed the consistency is sue which had been not if to GATT. However, the parties finished to get up with one accord the both that are a consistency of argument and an inconsistency of argument with the interpretation of the Article XXIV of GATT. The interpretation of the Article XXIV of GATT has been raised as the issues when EEC by Rome Treaty established in 1957. However, the consistency is sue only agreed 6 working parties out of 69 working parties finished the reviewing of the interpretation up to the end of 1994. Also the consistency issue concerned with the special privilege measure of the customs unions and tree-trade area under the Article XXIV of GATT discussed only 3 cases between working parties up to now and did not accepted as an issue for working parties' report. In conclusion in the chapter 6, this study raised the issues of WTO that are a conference of a new round under WTO and the issues of clarity between FTA rule and WTO regulation.

FTA상의 특혜관세 혜택을 누리기 위해서는 무엇보다도 수출입기업 스스로가 해당 FTA협정상의 원산지 규정 등에 대한 내용을 정확히 이해하고 올바로 활용할 수 있는 능력을 배양하는 것이 중요하다. 또한 FTA는 본질적으로 기업들에게 혜택을 주는 제도이지만 그에 따른 의무와 엄격한 충족을 전제로 하는 것이기 때문에 협정상 선결요건의 정확한 이해와 적용도 중요하다. 본 연구는 한 EU FTA 원산지의정서 제13조에 규정되어 있는 직접운송 요건을 충족하는지의 여부와 관련하여, 최근 관세청에 접수되어 결정이 내려진 심사청구사례를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 우선 한 EU FTA하에서 원산지규정과 협정관세적용을 위한 직접운송 요건의 적용 법리를 분석을 토대로, 본 사례의 사실관계와 대상결정 및 본건 관련법령과 결정내용을 상세하게 분석한 후, 본 사례가 수출입기업들에게 주는 시사점과 실무상의 대응책 및 제도적 보완방안을 구체적으로 제시하고자 한다. 한편 본 연구는 국내외 학술문헌을 분석도구로 활용하는 문헌분석적 연구방법과 한 EU FTA 협정문의 주요내용을 법리적으로 분석하는 법리적 연구방법을 주로 채택하였다. 이외에 문헌연구의 한계를 극복하고 객관성을 향상시키기 위하여 심사청구되어 관세청이 결정한 최근의 사례를 분석하여 관련분야에 인용하는 사례분석적 연구방법도 병행하였다.
