The dates of signature and implementation for Customs Unions/Common Markets refer to the financial services-related aspects of the relevant protocols. The Central America-Panama FTA (2002) has not been included since only the normative part of the trade agreement has been concluded to date. N/A means that the trade agreement is not currently available._ _* Venezuela notified its intention to withdraw from the Andean Community and the G3 FTA and, as of July 4, 2006, has acceded to MERCOSUR._ 18
