2. 2 The Pacific Alliance to Japan 8 Peruvian environment suitable for foreign investment (voices of Japanese companies who have already launched operation in Peru) 1. Member country of EPA (effective March 2012) 2. Proactively cooperative to the Business Environment Building Subcommittee, convening follow-up seminars 3. Supportive of trade liberalization: participant country in TPP negotiations and the Pacific Alliance 4. National treatment of foreign direct investment (FDI) (liberalized except for some sectors such as broadcasting and the military) 5. Pro-Japan country, trust placed in Japanese descendants 6. Well-maintained public safety, abundant in tourism resources 7. Promising market (Lima is the largest city on the Pacific coast in Central and South America, growing consumption) 8. Liberalized and stable financial institutions (dollar accounts allowed) 9. Expectations for Peruvian Government (1) Deregulation in the field of labor (ratio of foreigners, deregulation of profitsharing system) (2) Enhancement of industry development measures (introducing preferential taxation, building industrial parks) (3) Conclusion of double taxation agreement (4) Building of social and economic infrastructure (ports, logistics, roads, etc.) (5) Collection of more statistical data (detailed data regarding FDI) COPYRIGHT 2013 JETRO.

3.Changes and hopes brought about by the Pacific Alliance -Changes to the business environment- 16
3.Changes and hopes brought about by the Pacific Alliance 1Revision of intra-regional tariffs- from bilateral to multilateral rules <In the existing bilateral FTAs > No tariff benefit for some trade items in the region (E.g. export of automobiles from Mexico to Peru) Schedule for Mexico-Peru FTA tariff elimination (Major export items from Mexico to Peru) 3-1 Revision of intra-regional tariffs - from bilateral to multilateral rules (Unit:%) Name of product MFN Base Category 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Color TVs 6.0 12.0 A 0.0 Automobiles 6.0 12.0 C 10.8 9.6 8.4 7.2 6.0 4.8 3.6 2.4 1.2 0.0 Medical products 6.0 12.0 A 0.0 Refrigerators 13.0 20.0 B 16.0 12.0 8.0 4.0 0.0 Shampoo 6.0 12.0 B 9.6 7.2 4.8 2.4 0.0 (Note) In cases that the FTA tax rate is higher than the general (MFN) tax rate, the MFN rate is applied. Tariffs will be reduced on January 1 every year following the year it takes effect. (Source) Created based on Mexico-Peru FTA provisions extracted from the tariff rate search function of the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI) website. <If a schedule is set for multilateral tariff cuts > In the case that Peru does not specify automobiles as a sensitive item in a round of the Pacific Alliance: The export tariff for Mexican automobiles (6%) may be abolished within 2013!! (Reference) Export of automobiles from Mexico to Peru (results in 2012) Nissan (13,191) + Volkswagen (675) + Chrysler (237) + Honda (61) = Total 14,164 (Unit: Cars) 17
3.Changes and hopes brought about by the Pacific Alliance 2 Unification of rules of origin (ROO) - from bilateral to multilateral rules <ROOs vary depending on the partners even for the same item> 1 Different ROO for individual partners must be identified 2 ROO requirements must be cleared between two partner countries (E.g.) ROO in the existing bilateral FTAs regarding export of automobiles (HS8703) from Mexico A. Mexico-Colombia FTA: 40 % TVM of RVC B. Mexico-Chile FTA : 32% TVM of RVC or 26% NCS of RVC C. Mexico-Peru FTA : 35% TVM of RVC TVM:FOB Transaction Value Method, NCS : Net Cost Standard, RVC: Regional Value Content <If ROO are unified among multilateral partner countries > 1 No need to understand individual rules but the unified rules in the alliance, making management easier!! 2 In addition to bilateral accumulation, production processes in all member countries can be accumulated as originating processes!! E.g. Automobiles assembled in Colombia using components made in Mexico can be exported to Peru as products originating in the Pacific Alliance 18
3.Changes and hopes brought about by the Pacific Alliance 3 Improvement of business environment Various kinds of deregulation measures related to trade and investment have been examined in working groups 1 Electronic certificate of origin 2 Collaboration of centralized contacts for trade procedures (Ventanilla Única) 3 Mutual authorization of Authorized Economic Operators (AEO) 4 Promotion of cooperation between customs authorities 5 Cooperation regarding the sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) and technical barriers to trade (TBT) from a regulatory perspective (unification of standards, mutual authorization and technical cooperation) Facilitating mutual trade and investment between companies within in Pacific Alliance countries Promotion of trade and investment within the member countries Economic growth Expansion of market 19
3.Changes and hopes brought about by the Pacific Alliance 4 Expectation for leadership exercised by Peruvian Government Peru is an advanced country in terms of FTAs which has trade agreements in effect with 50 countries. 90% of total trade is with FTA partners. With regard to the business environment, Peru ranks second in Latin America. It has been highly evaluated internationally in the fields of investor protection and creditworthiness. If trade within the Pacific Alliance region is further liberalized, expansion of Peruvian exports will accelerate. This will also build an environment where Japanese companies, with advanced technologies and high capability to create valueadded products, can collaborate with Peruvian companies to enter new markets within the region. From this perspective, it is expected the Peruvian Government will exercise leadership in negotiations for trade liberalization. 20
