ABSTRACT

The Australia New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Ð Trade Agreement (ÔANZCERTAÕ)1 has come a long way in its 12 year career. Its beginnings as a vehicle principally for the progressive reduction and elimination of transTasman trade barriers in respect of goods were fairly simple and straight forward. Without denying the importance of that original principal purpose and the comparative elegance of its machinery, ANZCERTA has evolved into something much more complex and adaptable.
