“…The EU is the GPA party that has the most significant package of commitments, but it has also kept some domains exclusively reserved to EU member states or to partners of recent FTAs who agreed to open their markets beyond the GPA. This has been the case for Canada (Kukucha 2015), and it could therefore also be the case for Australia.…”

“…Since this list is much more exhaustive than the positive list, it requires a clearer view of what can or cannot be done at Australian sub-federal level and at EU member state level. Not involving the signatories at sub-federal levels would result in a great lack of transparency and could lead to situations in which local entities could refuse to comply with the text of the agreement (Kukucha 2015).…”

The European Union (EU) and Australia are like-minded partners who share many common concerns in today's international trade environment, such as the initiatives to further liberalise the trade of goods and services and advance the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) that is currently under discussion. This chapter will discuss the common interests and then assess the potential content of an EU-Australia free trade agreement (FTA) that may benefit companies operating in the services sectors. It will analyse the traditional elements of market access related to the trade in services, and also the key concerns for services companies that seek to maximise their returns on the basis of a modern trade agreement, particularly where the agreement may cover issues of investment, public procurement and regulatory cooperation.

Sub‐federal units have emerged as increasingly important actors in international trade policy. This is puzzling as they usually have no formal competencies in this area. Using the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union as a case study, this article examines one key driver behind this development ‐ the provisions in new free trade agreements. The article conceptualizes such provisions as instances of negative and positive integration. We show that while the Canadian provinces largely supported both types of provisions, sub‐federal units in Belgium, Germany and Austria resisted unfettered liberalization through negative integration and market‐creating positive integration. At the same time, they demanded stronger market‐correcting positive integration measures. Three categories of sub‐federal interests explain these differences in motivation. The Canadian province's engagement was motivated by (regional) economic interests, whereas bureaucratic self‐interest and political interests mobilized sub‐federal units in the European federations.
