Negotiations will start soon on the Hong Kong & Macau Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement, the Government announced today.
It said the free trade agreement will further enhance the two places' economic co-operation and development.
Hong Kong and Macau have each entered into a separate CEPA framework with the Mainland. After the HK-Macau CEPA is established, it will allow the three places to build on a new, common platform to further facilitate trade and investment in the Greater China region.
The new arrangement will cover elements including commitment to bind tariff at zero, minimising non-tariff barriers, avoiding imposing trade remedies, customs facilitation procedures, liberalisation and facilitation of trade in services, and legal and institutional arrangements.
