THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (SHRI C. R. CHAUDHARY)

- (a) India has not signed any new Free Trade Agreement (FTA) or Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) in the last three years. However, India expanded the scope of the India-ASEAN Trade in  Goods Agreement in November, 2014 to cover both Services and Investment which got implemented  on  1 st July  2015.  In  addition,  India  and  Chile  expanded  the  existing  PTA  to include new additional lines of interest to each other. The India-Chile Expanded PTA came into force on 16 May, 2017. The trade data with Chile and ASEAN is given in Annexure 1 and 2.
- (b)&(c) The Department of Commerce is negotiating/reviewing 22 trade agreements including with Israel  in  West  Asia  and  African  countries  like  Mauritius.  The  details  of  these  agreements under negotiation or review are at Annexure-3.
- (d) Assessment evaluation of FTAs is a continuous process including on sectors such as steel and agriculture. Before entering into negotiations with its trading partners, studies are undertaken internally,  as  well  as  through  the  Joint  Study  Group  (JSG)  to  study  the  feasibility  of  the proposed  FTAs,  including  their  impact  on  the  domestic  stakeholders  including  the  Apex Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Industry Associations  as  well  as  the  Administrative Ministries  and  Departments.  In  order  to  protect  the  interest  of  the  domestic  industry  and agriculture sector, these agreements provide for maintaining sensitive/negative lists of items on which limited or no tariff concessions are granted under the FTA. The Government has largely  adopted  a  conservative  policy  on  some  industrial  products  and  most  agricultural products by maintaining a large number of them in the negative list of FTAs. In addition, in case of a surge in imports and injury to the domestic industry, a country is allowed to take recourse to the measures such as anti-dumping and safeguards.
- (e) The stakeholders, including State Governments, have given suggestions on Free Trade Agreements. These are taken into account while negotiating the agreements.
