Submissions
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) invites written submissions from individuals and organisations on the potential opportunities and impacts of a free trade agreement (FTA) with Peru. Written submissions may take several forms – from a short email through to a more comprehensive analytical paper.
In your submission, you may wish to focus on the economic costs and benefits of reducing barriers to trade with Peru, specific market access challenges, or other issues of importance in doing business with Peru, for example:
- product/industry specific challenges
- biosecurity and food safety issues
- regulatory issues
- customs procedures
- cross-border trade in services
- digital trade issues (including e-commerce)
- investment, including investor-state dispute settlement
- government procurement
- intellectual property
- movement of persons
- competition policy
- any other issue you wish to raise
