On what basis is the expected outcome of a negotiation determined for the purposes of the EA?
• The analysis during an EA of a trade or investment negotiation is based on a scenario, which is developed by the interdepartmental EA committee in charge of the specific negotiation. • Some scenarios, such as those pertaining to agriculture and non-agricultural market access negotiations, are quantitative and assume different percentages of liberalization. Others, such as those relating to issues such as services, rules and trade facilitation, are qualitative. • The principal function of these scenarios is to provide a benchmark. They are strictly a tool for conducting the analysis.
