The table includes only PTAs that entered into force between 2006 and 2009 and that contain substantive investment provisions covering both goods and services. In the case of the EFTA–Republic of Korea FTA, there is a separate agreement on investment in which Norway is not a party. In the China–Singapore FTA, provisions on investment are those of the ASEAN–China Investment Agreement when it enters into force. The term “positive list” means that the provision is included in the agreement for a positive list of sectors; “negative list” means that the provision applies to all sectors, except those specified in a list in which reservations are made by the parties.
