AAP.CE 28 (Articles 7 and 8 of the TM80)  
 
Partial Scope Economic Complementarity Agreement No. 28 (AAP.CE 28) aims to facilitate, 
expand, diversify and liberalize the trade between t he signatory countries, and also to 
promote reciprocal investments and encourage entrepreneurship among other aims.  
 
To this end, on their reciprocal imports the parties shall grant each other tariff preference of 
50% of the levies applicable to imports from third countries not members of LAIA, with a list 
of exceptions (Annex I).  
 
Upon the entry into force of AAP.CE 59, on 1 April 2005, the tariff preferences negotiated in 
this Agreement and the regulatory aspects associated with them ceased to h ave effect. 
However, the provisions of AAP.CE 28 that are not incompatible with AAP.CE 59 or that refer 
to matters not covered by that Agreement remain in force.   WT/COMTD/RTA15/N/1/Add.28
