AAP.A25TM 1 (Article 25 of the TM80)

streamline trade flows between the parties, in ways compatible with their respective 
economic policies, and that contribute to the consolidation of the Latin American integration

The Agreement may be extended in the future to other economic sectors.

and Cos ta Rica, which entered into force on 1 January 1995.  
 
 
1 Article 25 of the TM80 establishes that "… member countries may draw up partial scope agreements 
with other Latin American countries and areas of economic integration …".  WT/COMTD/RTA15/N/1/Add.118
