In 2012, the United Arab Emirates, as members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), became parties to the framework agreement between the United States and the GCC on trade, economy, investment and technical cooperation. In 2014, the United Arab Emirates ratified the agreement by Federal Decree 86. Since 2012, the United States and the United Arab Emirates have organized several iterations of the economic policy dialogue between the United States and the United Arab Emirates, which provides a platform to cooperate on economic issues and irritate bilateral trade relations. The United Arab Emirates is a party to several multilateral and bilateral trade agreements, including with GCC partner countries. Under the GCC, the United Arab Emirates enjoys close economic relations with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, which means that the United Arab Emirates shares a common market and customs union with these nations. Under the Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA) agreement, the United Arab Emirates has free access to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine, Syria, Libya and Yemen To conclude a comprehensive free trade agreement between the United States and the Middle East by 2013. The United Arab Emirates also signs the World Trade Organization(WTO) Information Technology Agreement (ITA), a treaty that binds 78 countries (which account for 97% of world trade in computer products), which aims to eliminate tariffs on computer products. The many products covered by the treaty are estimated at more than $1.300 billion per year. The Government of Abu Dhabi has established the Advisory Committee on Free Trade Agreements, which aims to lift trade restrictions between the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the countries with which the United Arab Emirates is negotiating a free trade agreement. According to the Federal Customs Authority (FCA), the United Arab Emirates has also signed agreements with the following countries: Islamic Republic of Pakistan (2006), Algerian Republic (2007), Republic of Azerbaijan (2011), Republic of India (2012) Republic of Kazakhstan (2012), Republic of Argentina (2013), Republic of Armenia (2013), Republic of Maldives (2014), Republic of South Korea (2015) and Kingdom of the Netherlands (2015).
In June 2009, the GCC signed a free trade agreement with the European Free Trade Area (ETFA) (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland), which was implemented in July 2015. The Authority is also trying, through the Act of Bilateral Agreements, to achieve the objective it has adopted since the beginning of its work, such as “Towards a Safe Society … Fair Trade” in the reality on the ground, protecting local society from the negative economic, social and health effects of counterfeit and dual goods, monitoring transfers of dual-use materials, preserving intellectual property rights and rules of origin, and, in the meantime, facilitating the movement of trade between the United Arab Emirates and its trading partners around the world.
