Legal Instrument

Under the trade agreement, Singapore removes all remaining tariffs on EU products and commits to keep unchanged the current duty-free access for all other EU products. The agreement also provides new opportunities for EU services' providers, among others in sectors such as telecommunications, environmental services, engineering, computing and maritime transport. It also makes the business environment more predictable. Singapore also agreed to remove obstacles to trade besides tariffs in key sectors, for instance by recognising the EU's safety tests for cars and many electronic appliances or accepting labels that EU companies use for textiles. 

Chapter 8 is dedicated to Electronic Commerce.
