4 Regional Trade Agreements Preferential Trade Arrangement A trading arrangement in which a nation grants partial trade preferences to one or more trading partners.

5 Regional Trade Agreements (cont d) Customs Union A trading arrangement that entails eliminating barriers to trade among participating nations and common barriers to trade with other countries outside the group.

6 Regional Trade Agreements (cont d) Economic Union A trading arrangement that: commits participating nations to remove all barriers to trade among their group to abide by common restrictions on trade with other countries outside the group to allow unhindered movements of factors of production within the group to closely coordinate all economic policies with other participants.
