Talk:Free trade area

message: Do you mean that Cumulation is between "Free Trade Area"'s of between the countries of an FTA?

replies: text: Both. There is bilateral, diagonal, full, regional, etc. types of cumulation. I think that they apply to countries, but in some cases they apply to groups, like EEA.Alinor 18:23, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I advocate a merger between free trade area and free trade zone given the identical coverage of both articles. The direction of the merge is purely arbitrary, and can be settled on through a poll if requested for. Ariedartin JECJY Talk 04:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: As far as I know the European Union is not a free trade area, but a custioms union. Can someone change the links at the "See also". Blablame (talk) 12:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To be a customs union, you have to be a free trade union. But anyways, the see also section needs to be fixed. It's basically a mess. Cheers  --Patrick (talk) 02:28, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The EU is not a free trade area 

message: I propose that the content from Free trade agreement be merged into this article. It is only a few sentences, mostly about statistics that can go into some of these lists anyway: List of free trade areas, List of bilateral free trade agreements, List of free trade agreements (whether we need three or less lists is another topic). Initially the FTAgreement was redirect Free Trade, then to FTArea, then the current stub appeared. Its topic is deeply connected (if not the same) as the topic of this article and as it does not contain much content - it is most appropriate to be merged and redirected here (or alternatively to rename FTArea to FTAgreement).

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: So called "free" trade agreements and so forth are highly controversial, both in the US and world wide. Not a hint of that here, --as if the magical "free lunch" exists.   Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section): "It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important points—including any prominent controversies." ...consideration should be given to creating interest in reading more...<Br> --71.137.156.36 (talk) 21:54, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
