What are WTO rules for trade?
The agreement is consistent with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules. The WTO sets global rules for international trade, aiming to ensure it flows as smoothly, predictably, and freely as possible. These rules cover areas like tariffs, subsidies, and intellectual property, preventing countries from unfairly favouring their own industries or discriminating against others.
