ASEAN

foreign ministers meeting
- Southeast Asia’s foreign ministers on Thursday (Aug 2) reiterated the need to integrate further and stay nimble amid technological disruptions. These were laid out in a wide-ranging joint statement that also included a sign of progress for negotiations on a code of conduct in the disputed waters of the South China Sea. The 26-page joint communique was issued at the end of a series of meetings at the Singapore Expo, where officials from the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) also met with key partners from the region, such as Japan and China.

ASEAN already attracts large amounts of foreign investment, and its leaders have been talking up integration and regionalism since the organisation was founded in 1967. So the AEC represents less a radical change than an attempt to accelerate existing trends. But anyone hoping that ASEAN is about to turn into an Asian version of the European Union will be disappointed. European integration is fundamentally a political project with an inward focus, argues Jayant Menon of the Asian Development Bank, which has led to a mushrooming of institutions. The AEC, in contrast, is an economic project, with almost no institutional heft—just a small secretariat—devoted to “outward-oriented regionalism”. It is designed to make the region an easier and more attractive place for foreign companies to do business and thus to boost trade and investment.

  • http://www.china.org.cn/world/Off_the_Wire/2016-06/13/content_38655125.htmThe 16 nations involved in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) trade talks must be more ambitious in opening their markets, New Zealand Trade Minister Todd McClay told 500 delegates gathering in Auckland for the latest round of negotiations Monday. Only through greater liberalization and a focus on reducing non-tariff measures would the full benefits of the agreement be delivered for the 3 billion people in RCEP countries, McClay said in a published speech to welcome the representatives. Negotiations have been underway for more than three years and important progress has been made but there is still a lot to do, said McClay. "I have pressed delegates to use this round of negotiations to agree on a concrete path for better offers, so that tangible progress is made in goods and investment," said McClay. "It is extremely important that RCEP delivers on its full potential and therefore improved market access needs to be agreed." Representatives also needed to better explain to the public the necessity of trade and the benefits it could bring. "As host for this round, New Zealand has sought to strike an appropriate balance between providing for this engagement while also ensuring there remains the time necessary to progress the substantive negotiations," he said. Critics also warned Monday that the RCEP countries needed to be more transparent in their negotiations than the 12 nations involved in the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal that was signed in Auckland in February. University of Auckland Law Professor Jane Kelsey, a leading TPP critic, said in a statement that details of the latest RCEP negotiations had been "shrouded in secrecy" like the TPP talks. Kelsey said she had made an official request for McClay to name all the chapters being negotiated, but his office had withheld the titles of seven out of 29 chapters, annexes and schedules. However, draft texts of the investment and intellectual property chapters had been leaked, showing Japan and the Republic of Korea were seeking to export some of the "worst parts" of the TPP into RCEP, notably provisions relating to medicines and foreign investors' rights and enforcement powers. Opposition lawmakers in the Green Party said the New Zealand government should take controversial and outdated investor state dispute settlement (ISDS) provisions off the table in the RCEP negotiations. McClay told Radio New Zealand Monday that RCEP should include ISDS provisions, which critics claim allow foreign corporations to sue governments in secretive extra-judicial tribunals.

India in particular is reluctant to give up on tariffs, they say. “They are concerned that major tariff elimination will cut revenue and their competitive position, especially against China,” said one official who did not want to be identified as the talks were private. Another official also said India’s position posed the biggest challenge in Monday’s ministerial talks.

Insiders told This Week in Asia the main hurdle for finalising the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) will be the negotiation position of India – which has been holding out for concessions the other 15 countries consider untenable.Even as China and India – the proposed trading bloc’s largest economies – on Saturday signalled their readiness to thrash out their differences over the deal, domestic pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government could scuttle his country’s involvement.Key allies of Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have mounted a nationwide protest against the RCEP, claiming the deal is lopsided and will be ruinous to local industries.

Chiangmai initiative
The Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI) is a multilateralcurrency swap arrangement among the ten members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong), Japan, andSouth Korea. It draws from a foreign exchange reserves pool worth US$120 billion and was launched on 24 March 2010. That pool has been expanded to $240 billion in 2012. The initiative began as a series of bilateral swap arrangements after the ASEAN Plus Threecountries met on 6 May 2000 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, at an annual meeting of the Asian Development Bank. After 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, member countries started this initiative to manage regional short-term liquidity problems and to facilitate the work of other international financial arrangements and organisations like International Monetary Fund.

  • http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2017/01/12/a16-0112.pdf 經過一年多的線索經營,廣州海關破獲一宗利用偽造原產地零關稅入境走私成品油大案。某國際貿易集團利用「中國-東盟零關稅」優惠政策,從他國(地區)進口柴油和船用燃油,迂迴到菲律賓後,在廣州南沙港等港口以正常手續進口內地。目前,以殷某為首的9名主要疑犯已經落網,並已查證該集團走私燃油達107萬噸,案值近51億元人民幣(約57億港元)。 此案破獲,為內地挽回巨額關稅損失。2015年底,海關緝私部門接到舉報稱,某國際貿易集團旗下東南亞某國子公司的高管殷某等人,與內地貨主勾結大量走私進口「輕循環油」(船舶燃油)。「輕循環油」是原油生產的中間循環物料,主要用於大型機械、礦山、船舶等燃料用油,經過加氫脫硫等可加工成柴油。根據「中國-東盟自貿區」 優惠貿易協定,產於東盟成員國的「輕循環油」進口中國時可享「零關稅」的優惠稅率。抽取的調查數據顯示,承運該公司「輕循環油」的船隻航行軌跡迂迴曲折,在韓國、台灣、馬來西亞等地加載貨物後,再繞經菲律賓蘇比克灣停留,最後開往廣州南沙或內地其他口岸報關進口,申報原產地為菲律賓,享受「零關稅」優惠稅率。

They are in Kuala Lumpur to attend the Asean summit. Delivering a keynote speech at yesterday's forum, Leung noted that free-trade negotiations between Asean and Hong Kong had been going smoothly since they started last year. "The third round of negotiations concluded last month in Hong Kong. All is progressing smoothly and I look forward to a successful conclusion in the coming year," said Leung.
  • http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20150803/00184_001.html 政務司司長林鄭月娥訪問新加坡,顯示在政改後,特區政府開始重拾政務。訪問目的,是拜託新加坡不要阻撓香港與東盟自由貿易協議的談判。本來,中國與東盟已簽署自貿協議,香港作為中國的屬地加入去,也算是順理成章。只是新加坡反對,要重新談判。這反映新加坡與香港的競爭,卻開了一個十分壞的先例:香港失去了直接參加中國與別國簽署的自貿協議。我不知道特區政府有否游說東盟其他各國來反對新加坡之議。或許在佔中、政改,政府浪費了太多時間與反對派周旋。梁振英政府上台之後便疲於奔命,沒法着手對外經貿游說,特區政府的官員也從來不爭取,保持着殖民地時代由宗主國代勞的傳統、習慣。當新加坡已構築全球網絡的自由貿易關係,香港遠遠落後,或因此可解釋在香港進入中英談判後的過渡期以來,無論是人均國民生產總值或國民生產總值,均被新加坡超越,而且差距愈來愈大的原因。林鄭月娥訪星,代表政府開始正視問題,但新加坡會樂見香港順利地與東盟簽署自由貿易協議嗎?阻撓是必然的,因為一開始便是這樣,香港憑甚麼條件游說新加坡改變初衷呢?或許更佳的方法是特首親自拜訪東盟容易爭取支持的國家,例如老撾、柬埔寨、緬甸,再而是馬來西亞、汶萊、印尼、越南。尋求支持,當然也要帶上與它們交換利益的經貿方案,不能像林鄭月娥那樣空手而去。此外,特區政府更可用日本的策略,逐一與相關國家先簽協議。

  • http://www.chinadailyasia.com/hknews/2016-08/30/content_15486883.html With a free trade agreement (FTA) between Hong Kong and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) due to be concluded this year, business leaders and economists are skeptical about the real impact the accord would have on trade between the two regions. They argued that existing trading links are already direct, open and booming. Given the SAR’s present status as a free trade zone and exports from the 10-nation bloc to Hong Kong being subject to zero tariff, experts have stressed the political and psychological significance of the deal more than the economic benefits. Instead, they called for both regions to boost two-way investment, but admitted that it would take a change in mindset rather than an agreement to achieve it. The eighth round of negotiations on the Hong Kong-ASEAN FTA ended in Kuala Lumpur last week with good progress made, according to Hong Kong’s Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Gregory So Kam-leung, who spoke at the Hong Kong-ASEAN Summit 2016. So said he expected all negotiations on the trade pact to be completed by the end of this year, while projecting more opportunities in the global market and stronger competitiveness for Hong Kong’s business community. “I believe the completion of the FTA negotiations will enable goods, services and investments from Hong Kong to enter the ASEAN market on better terms, and put the SAR in a stronger position in the global supply chain,” he said.However, given Hong Kong’s current status as a free trade zone, economists have cast doubts on how big an impact the FTA would have on trading activities in the region. David Carbon, chief economist and managing director for economic and currency research at DBS Bank, said while the FTA will make trade easier to conduct, it won’t be the determining factor in boosting trade. “Most of the increase in global trade is not due to getting rid of tariffs or FTAs, but simply comes from the growing size of the economy,” he explained. Lee George Lam, president of the Hong Kong-ASEAN Economic Cooperation Foundation, argued that the trade pact will allow better communication in the region while deepening economic ties. Saying the deal would make Hong Kong and the ASEAN community “psychologically and politically closer”, he believed that trust would be enhanced through the agreement, which will lay the foundation for deeper economic cooperation. An ASEAN diplomat, who preferred to remain anonymous, said he expects a limited impact on trade from the ASEAN perspective, but hoped that it will allow more room for maneuver in areas like two-way investment and connectivity, which could be unlikely to achieve through the deal alone. Statistics from ASEAN show that Hong Kong was the eighth-largest source of foreign direct investment in the group last year, valued at $3.6 billion. Hong Kong reported in 2014 that foreign direct investment in Hong Kong from ASEAN – its fifth-largest source – reached $5.6 billion. Albert Oung, founding chairman of the Hong Kong Myanmar Chamber of Commerce, urged Hong Kong to “change its mindset’ to tap into the immense investment opportunities in the ASEAN market.

  • http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/hkedition/2016-06/15/content_25714843.htm Last year, Hong Kong's total exports to ASEAN - the SAR's second-largest trading partner after theChinese mainland - rose 4.8 percent to $34.8 billion, while imports totaled $70.8 billion, posting a2.4-percent drop after having grown 10.1 percent in 2014. Kerry Logistics Network - a Hong Kong-listed logistics service provider with exposure across Asiaand also a subsidiary of Kerry Properties, which is controlled by the family of Malaysian propertymagnate Robert Kuok Hock Nien - is one example of how Hong Kong enterprises have tapped intoASEAN's logistics market. The company said earlier this year that construction of the fourth phase of Kerry Siam Seaport inThailand's coastal Laem Chabang region has begun, and the facility will be developed into a keycargo gateway to cope with growing trade within the 10-member Southeast Asian grouping. The new project, due to be completed by 2019, will see the numberof berths doubled from 10 to 20, with its total length extended from1.5 to 2.8 kilometers. The port at Laem Chabang currently handlesmillions of tons of cargo from across the region and beyond forsome of the world's leading brands. Kerry Logistics said it has also won concessions to operate twoinland ports in Myanmar to enable it to venture into terminallogistics operations in the ASEAN region. The ports will serve ascontainer and cargo terminals, as well as hubs for exporters,importers and domestic logistics service providers of cargoes. "Given Kerry Logistics' presence in ASEAN, our goal is to furtherstrengthen the linkage among countries in the region and seekaccelerated growth by developing an integrated platform coveringThailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos," says Kerry LogisticsChairman George Yeo.

When it comes to numbers of imports and exports between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), he seems to recall everything. From annual growth rates to specific regulations of particular goods, he can call on the information freely to back up his ideas. As the executive president of the China-ASEAN Business Council, over the past two decades Xu has been a top spokesman for China’s business cooperation with ASEAN’s 10 member countries.
