REVISITING SECTORAL LIBERALIZATION:AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE FREE TRADE AREA

OF THE ASIA-PACIFIC? IMPLICATIONSFOR THE PHILIPPINES

George Manzano and Myrene Bedano*

This paper develops a modality of liberalization for APEC, based ona sectoral level, as an alternative to the Free Trade Area of theAsia-Pacific (FTAAP). This model, originally developed by Wonnacott(1994), argues for the liberalization, on a Most Favoured Nation (MFN)basis, of sectors where APEC members are principal suppliers. The mainadvantage of this option is that it skirts the free rider problem that usuallyafflicts MFN liberalization. While this approach would benefit APEC asa group, it impacts different members differently. The paper examines theimplications of such a liberalization modality in APEC on the Philippines,as a case study.

I. INTRODUCTION

The concept of open regionalism is a fuzzy one. As echoed by Bergsten(1997), this concept was first understood as a concerted unilateral liberalization.

However, the euphoria in the APEC process that emanated from the Bogor meetingswaned as the Asian financial crisis struck in 1997. As most of Asia grappled with thecrippling effects of the crisis, the political support for trade liberalization across APECfaltered or at least failed to match the rhetoric of the leaders’ declarations. Inaddition, as the Doha Round bogged down amid disagreements on agriculture trade,regional trade agreements (RTAs) proliferated. Even within APEC, a multitude of RTAsbloomed, threatening to overshadow APEC’s role as a driver of trade. In an effort toput the APEC profile back to its prominence, the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific(FTAAP) was proposed in 2004. However, given the current trade tensions amongsome members, the political support for such an agreement has becomequestionable. Yet, there remains the imperative for fresh initiatives to keep the bicycleof trade liberalization moving. Given this backdrop, this paper presents anothermodality to support APEC’s trade liberalization pillar and to provide an alternative tothe FTAAP proposal.

This paper develops a modality based on sectoral liberalization, reminiscentof the Early Voluntary Sectoral Liberalization (EVSL). However, in contrast to theill-fated EVSL, where the “voluntary” nomination of sectors for early liberalization isbased, to some extent, on the mercantilist interests of individual members, theproposed modality will employ a more analytical method for identifying the sector tobe slated for liberalization. Central to this modality is the basis for selection ofsectors to be liberalized. Following Wonnacott’s (1994) methodology, the paper willuse the “principal supplier” criterion in identifying the sectors that can be consideredfor MFN liberalization. To highlight the implications of the sectoral liberalization onindividual members, a case study of the Philippines will be conducted.

II. TRADE LIBERALIZATION IN APEC AND THE FTAAP

There are concerns that APEC will miss the Bogor goals, launched in 1994.One initiative to push for the Bogor goals is via the preferential route, i.e., creatinga massive RTA encompassing all APEC members. The proposed RTA, dubbed as theFTAAP, represents a significant departure from APEC’s initial approach to tradeliberalization. APEC distinguishes itself from conventional preferential models with itsstrict adherence to “open regionalism”. Specifically, the organization subscribes tothe “concerted unilateralism” approach that entails the simultaneous unilateral actionon the part of APEC members to liberalize trading regimes in a less discriminatorymanner. This unique character of APEC seeks to ensure that it will serve asa “building block” to global trade liberalization, rather than a “stumbling block”.Clearly, an RTA would involve a complete overhaul of the APEC modality to tradeliberalization – from a non-discriminatory approach to trade liberalization underpinned

by voluntary and non-binding commitments, towards an explicit preferentialarrangement established through negotiations of reciprocal trade concessions thatare legally binding.

The interest in the APEC RTA concept is motivated by a set of reinforcingfactors. As mentioned earlier, the primary motive emanates from the challenge forAPEC to revitalize its faltering trade agenda. Critics point to the demise of the EVSLscheme and the ineffectiveness of the Individual Action Plan (IAP) process as thedrag on APEC’s credibility and momentum. The failure of the EVSL in the late1990s revealed that the mechanisms by which the organization operates, whilewell-received, are practicably flawed. Further, the experience demonstrated thatsignificant trade liberalization may not be easily achieved by the mere reliance onvoluntary action by members kept in check only by friendly reminders by peer groups.Thus, the FTAAP is considered to be an effective way to energize APEC and to get itright back on the trade liberalization track. A single RTA that would meld themultitude of RTAs in the region and rationalize the different provisions contained inthese arrangements could well be the solution to the “spaghetti bowl” or “noodlebowl” effect of overlapping RTAs. In addition, the FTAAP is a response to thegridlocked WTO negotiations.

While the FTAAP possesses certain merits there are serious questions aboutits feasibility in the foreseeable future. One difficulty pertains to the plethora ofinterests and sensitive political dynamics among major players, which makes itdifficult to peddle the FTAAP (Morrison, 2007; Aggarwal, 2007). There are alsoa number of practical difficulties in negotiating such a large-scale arrangement, whichcould dampen the expectations of a successful conclusion in the near future.Designing, negotiating and implementing RTAs consume significant policymaking andcapital resources and the capacity to take part in the RTA is not symmetric amongAPEC members.

More recently however, another modality that involves widening themembership of the Trans-Pacific Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP) topotentially include most APEC members has been proposed. All original members ofthe TPP are APEC members and there is active interest among other APEC membersto join.1 Because the scope for liberalization in the TPP agreement is comprehensive,an expansion of members to include all APEC members could then be a substitute tothe formation of the FTAAP.

1 Brunei Darussalam, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore, the four original members, signed the TPP in2005 which entered into force in May 2006. The United States of America, Australia, Peru and Viet Namexpressed interest in joining the TPP.

In view of these issues revolving around the FTAAP and the gridlock on themultilateral forums, the Doha Development Agenda (DDA), the search of a suitablealternative for trade liberalization agenda in the APEC looms large. Certainly,unilateral liberalization, liberally interpreted as open regionalism, is one. While theeconomic arguments for this modality are many, a negative feature is that it wouldamount to giving the rest of the world a “free ride” as non-members automaticallybenefit from the tariff reductions by APEC members without making correspondingliberalization measures. Another avenue is sectoral liberalization.

III. PRINCIPAL SUPPLIER APPROACH TO SECTORALLIBERALIZATION

Theoretical Foundations

To the knowledge of the authors, there is no paper in the literature thatspecifically provides a theoretical justification for sectoral liberalization on an MFNbasis, along the “principal supplier” criteria in Wonnacott (1994). There is a relatedliterature that explains the merits of a non-preferential trading club, which is oneinterpretation of “open regionalism”.

Raimondos-Moller and Woodland (2006) wrote the first paper that discussedthe theoretical foundation of the advantages of “open regionalism”. One variant of“open regionalism” is the non-preferential club which is a group of countries thatagree to coordinate their non-discriminatory tariff policies and to undertake internalincome transfers. They argue that a non-preferential trading club, by undertakingcoordinated tariff reforms, can improve the efficiency of the resource allocationand welfare of the members of the club, at the same time leave the welfare of thenon-members untouched, i.e. a Pareto-improvement. An important feature though isthat the “coordinated tariff reforms” of the club members requires some members toraise their tariffs and some to reduce theirs or even allow subsidies. They argue thata non-preferential club is consistent with the spirit of the WTO in that whateverarrangements members make to improve their welfare, does not harm the welfare ofthe rest of the world.2

The sectoral liberalization modality proposed in this paper, share manycharacteristics of a non-preferential trading club. First, the liberalization, beingundertaken on an MFN basis, is non-discriminatory. Second, it is to be undertaken bya subset of the global economy, in this case, APEC members. Third, it should not

77

make the rest of the world worse-off, by keeping the relative prices to non-membersunchanged despite the internal changes among club members. Obviously, worldprices would not be held constant in the process of the APEC sectoral liberalization,as the APEC members are dominant producers and consumers in the aforementionedsectors. However, one may argue that because the tariff movements of theAPEC members are, of course, downwards, and granted on an MFN basis, the non-members will not likely be harmed.

The “Principal Supplier” criteria

To lessen the possibility of outsiders free riding3 on the trade liberalizationefforts by APEC, the challenge is to identify those areas in which the benefits of tradeliberalization would redound mostly on APEC members than on non-members. Earlierwork that addressed the issue of free riding is by Wonnacott (1994) that suggesteda trade liberalization scheme on a selective product-by-product basis whereincountries choose the commodities for early liberalization based on a pre-definedcriteria. Specifically, the methodology by Wonnacott prescribes that, in order tominimize the free rider problem, tariff reduction should be undertaken on the goodswhere APEC is a dominant global supplier. Intuitively, the benefits of tariff reductions,in terms of enhanced market access, on these goods would largely accrue to APECmembers, simply, because non-APEC members are not major exporters of suchproducts.

In the selection of potential candidates for liberalization, the share of APEC inthe world exports of goods was used as basis. A large percentage share of exports istaken to indicate that “free riding” by non-members would be less problematic. As inWonnacott’s study, the export shares of APEC in total world trade are compared withtheir share in total world exports less intra-European Union trade. Trade betweenEuropean Union member countries is discounted, as stipulated in Wonnacott (1994)on the ground that it is becoming more and more intraregional. For this exercise,commodities are examined at the 6-digit level based on the Harmonized System (HS)Commodity Classification Code.

The products in which the APEC members are principal suppliers arereported in table 1. These are the products where APEC members, as a whole, enjoya share of at least 70 per cent of world exports in 2005 (not counting intra-EuropeanUnion trade).

3 Free riding is considered a cost because third countries will enjoy market acess without giving ‘quid-pro-quo’ concessions on access to their own markets.

Asia-Pacific Development Journal Vol. 18, No. 1, June 2011

The list in table 1 and annex A, which contains 282 commodities, is quitevaried, reflecting the wide range of products where individual APEC members havecomparative advantage.

Looking at the shares of APEC as a whole in the world exports and worldimports of the identified commodities in table 2 indicates that the regional groupinghas clear advantage in the export of these products. For example, the share of theproducts at the 70 per cent cut-off level in the export of APEC members as a groupstands at almost 46 per cent, while the share of these products in the grouping’simports is much lower, at 38 per cent. On the other hand, products where APECaccounts for 90 per cent of world trade, on the other hand, comprise only about14 per cent of world export and 11 per cent of world import. At every percentagecut-off, the selected products’ shares in exports are much greater than thecorresponding share in imports. The implication is that the free riding problem isexpected to be small.

What could be a suitable benchmark to distinguish a product or sector to beone where APEC is a principal supplier? In the first place, the cut-off level measuredby the share of APEC exports to world exports should be that which maximizes thegap between the share of APEC exports to world exports and its corresponding shareof world imports. The idea is to look for cut-off level where the offensive interest, asproxied by the relative share of APEC exports to world exports, is secured relative tothe defensive interests, as represented by the relative share of APEC in world imports.As indicated by the share of APEC as a whole in world exports, 70 per cent may be

81

a reasonable cut-off level because going this far would cover almost half of APECexports. Additionally, as table 2 reports, it is at the 70 per cent cut-off level where thediscrepancy between the share of APEC exports and imports is greatest (fourthcolumn). The implication here is that the offensive interest of APEC, as a whole, iswell-served at the benchmark for the “principal supplier” at the 70 per cent level. Inaddition, it appears that there will be much to gain from a negotiation which coversproducts where APEC members provide 70 per cent or more of world exports. Asmentioned earlier, at a cut-off rate of 70 per cent, the percentage of APEC exportscovered is close to 46 per cent which is quite sizeable already. At the same time, theportion of APEC exports covered by a negotiation that only considers the next upperbracket of 75 per cent is only about 35 per cent of APEC exports. As the secondcolumn of table 2 shows, the average coverage of APEC exports that will not beincluded in the sectoral negotiations is greatest when the cut-off point is raised from70 per cent to 75 per cent. Specifically, the portion of APEC exports that is notcovered declines by 11.03 per cent, representing an average decrease of 2.21 percent per percentage rise of cut-off between 70 per cent and 75 per cent.

For tractability, the selected APEC products were classified by sector.Eleven (11) sectors have been identified for this study – electronics, transportequipments, machineries, metal and metal products, wood and wood-basedproducts, textile and garments, footwear and headgear, agricultural products and rawmaterials, plastics and rubbers, chemicals, miscellaneous manufactures.

Of the commodities identified, 78 items or 28 per cent of the total belong tothe electronics product group that includes electronic parts and components,consumer electronics, office equipment, and telecommunications equipment.Combined, these products corner 17 per cent of total APEC exports and 16 per centof total APEC imports, highlighting the trade importance of this set of electronicsproducts (see table 4).

Many of the developing members of APEC specialize in labour-intensiveassembly-type operations. Particularly, APEC’s East Asian members have beenplaying an increasing role in these supply networks, especially with regard to trade inparts and components of electronic products, indicating their importance ininternational production sharing.

For each of the sectors identified in table 3, APEC’s share in world exports isgreater than its share in world imports. However, the discrepancy is very minimal atan average of 2 per cent for all sectors, indicating that while APEC members arestrong suppliers of these goods, they are also strong consumers of such items.4

IV. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PHILIPPINE TRADENEGOTIATION STRATEGY: CASE STUDY

Earlier, it was argued that the sectoral liberalization based on the “principalsupplier” approach would be beneficial to APEC as a whole. However, the impact onthe individual members would vary as in the case of multilateral and regionalliberalization. What are the implications of the proposed modality of liberalization onthe trade negotiation of the Philippines? More specifically, to what extent does thesectoral liberalization serve its offensive and defensive interests?5

Based on table 5, for the products in which APEC members provide 70 percent and more of world exports (less intra-European Union trade), the Philippines’APEC partners imported $1,915 billion in 2005 from the world. This means thatthe Philippines along with everybody else have improved market access (due tosectoral liberalization) equivalent to the aforementioned value, keeping all otherfactors such as income constant. It could be seen that at the 90 per cent cut-offlevel, market potential available to the Philippines is significantly reduced by morethan two-thirds to $563 billion.

As annex B reports, the products where APEC supplies 70 per cent of theworld’s exports constitute close to 75 per cent of total Philippine exports in 2005.This indicates that the Philippines is a dominant supplier for the set of products wherethere is relatively little free riding if liberalized unilaterally. Furthermore, the differenceat the 70 per cent and 75 per cent between share of selected products in totalexports and imports respectively, are quite substantial.

4 A comparison of the ‘principal supplier’ goods with the products proposed for sectoral liberalization inthe WTO Non-Agricultural Market Access (NAMA) in August 2008 is reported in annex D. One notes that65 per cent of goods under the NAMA correspond to the items in the ‘principal supplier’ goods. Amongthe sectors with the highest incidence of correspondence are: electronics, machineries, wood, andchemicals. Annex D also reports the correspondence of the ‘principal supplier’ goods with the goodsproposed under the 1998 APEC EVSL. In contrast to the NAMA comparsion, only 45 per cent of the1998 APEC EVSL ‘goods’ are found in the list of the ‘principal supplier’ goods indicating that the latterhas a wider scope for liberalization than the EVSL.5 Gaining greater market access for exportables constitutes the ‘offensive interest’ in trade negotiationsin this paper. By ‘defensive interest’ is meant preventing the erosion of current levels of protection oncertain ‘sensitive’ sectors.

Asia-Pacific Development Journal Vol. 18, No. 1, June 2011

84

For the Philippines case, however, the optimum cut-off appears to be about75 per cent, where the difference between export and import shares is greatest. Onemay note as well, that as one increases the cut-off from 75 per cent to 80 per cent,the portion of Philippine exports that are not covered by the sectoral agreement willfall by almost 7 per cent that is equivalent to an average decrease of 1.31 per cent perpercentage point increase between these two aforementioned cut-off levels.

At the sectoral level, however, there are only two major sectors – electronicsand machineries, which dominate Philippine exports. Eight of the broad sectorsaccount for less than 1 per cent of total Philippine exports (see table 6).

Table 7 reports the MFN tariffs of the Philippine’s APEC partners in the broadsectoral categories for which sectoral liberalization is proposed. To illustrate, theaverage applied MFN tariffs facing Philippine exporters of electronics (or electronicproducts where APEC’s share in the world exports is 70 per cent or greater) in theAPEC market is 4.38 per cent. If the proposed sectoral liberalization proceeds, thenthis figure represents the maximum extent of additional market access made availableto the Philippines, i.e. if there is full elimination of tariffs. As such, the average tariffscan be a measure of the offensive interest of an APEC member served by the sectoralliberalization. The larger the prevailing tariffs facing the member in a particular sector,the greater the market access accorded under a sectoral liberalization programme.Note, however, that the tariffs as reported in the table may be overstated because ofthe overlapping preferential trade agreements currently in place among many APECmembers. One limitation of this study is that it does not take into account the currentRTAs of APEC members in computing for the incremental market access due tosectoral liberalization.

One may note that the prevailing MFN tariffs facing the bulk of Philippineexports in the selected candidate sectors for liberalization have low average MFNapplied tariffs. Electronics and machineries have MFN tariffs of only 1.71 per centand 1.40 per cent respectively, indicating that the degree of potential incrementalmarket access may be limited. The potential additional market access in footwear,textile, rubber, and transportation equipment is rather considerable, in view of the

magnitude of tariffs that will be cut by the rest of the APEC members. However, thevolume of Philippine exports in the aforementioned sectors, save transportationequipment, is not very substantial (see table 6). Perhaps the reason for the lowvolume of exports of the Philippines in footwear, textile, etc. to other APECeconomies is due to high tariff barriers. Thus, the existing profile of tariffs facingPhilippine exports also influences the current distribution and volume of exportsamong the sectors.

The defensive interest of the Philippines can partially be gauged from thecurrent levels of tariffs it imposes on the candidate sectors for sectoral liberalization,with emphasis on the prevalence of tariff peaks. Table 8 reports the tariff profile of thePhilippines on the sectors of interest. In many instances, the average tariff levels ofthe Philippines on the products selected on the basis of the principal supplier criterion(referred to as “selected” products) are higher than the corresponding average tariffsof its APEC trade partners. As expected, the MFN tariffs on electronics andmachineries are quite low indicating that the selected sectors are not “sensitive”.Interestingly the average tariff of the selected chemical sectors is also quite low. Onthe whole, the average tariff of the selected products for the Philippines is slightlyhigher than the simple average for the whole range of products in the Philippinesindicating that there could be sensitivities in the sample of selected products.Actually, 20 per cent of the tariff lines in the selected products have tariff peaks,defined as tariffs beyond 15 per cent, in the Philippines. Table 9 presents the profileof applied MFN tariffs for the selected goods in the Philippines and highlights theextent of tariff peaks. As reported in table 9, tariff peaks abound in the footwear,transport equipment, textile/garments and miscellaneous sectors indicating thedefensive stance of current trade policy.

The previous discussion reveals the overlapping defensive and offensiveinterests attached to the selected products for sectoral liberalization. Of interesthowever, is the overall assessment of the proposed modality insofar as it impactsPhilippine trade negotiation strategy. This could be important because the sectoralliberalization that is proposed is essentially a package. In fact, the analytical baseprecludes the practice of picking sectors for the liberalization on mercantilist groundsas was done in previous attempts at sectoral liberalization. One method of evaluatingthe desirability of the proposed modality is to classify the intensity of interest intolevels (Categories A, B or C) consistent with a set of criteria that defines the level. Ofcourse, this method suffers from being static, short term, and ad hoc in formulation.On the other hand, it is quite flexible (the policymaker can devise their own criteria tosuit their priorities) and could easily be understood by the stakeholders. Thus, theoverall assessment of the list of sectors is always dependent on the set of criteria, i.e.subjective. Box 1 is one set of criteria for specifying levels of offensive and interest of

Philippine trade policy as regards the prospects of liberalization on the principalsupplier basis.

For purpose of evaluating the extent to which the offensive and defensiveinterests of the Philippines trade negotiation strategy will be served by the sectoralliberalization proposal, a set of criteria is proposed. Among the variables to beconsidered are relative share of the sector to total APEC exports, the absolute exportfigure and the average applied MFN tariffs of its APEC partners. To have a significantoffensive interest, the sector to be slated for liberalization should be a sizeableexportable of the Philippines already. By specifying a minimum export value hurdle,the criterion ensures that the Philippines has the capacity to exploit the marketaccess improvement brought about by the sectoral liberalization. The current averageMFN tariff levied by APEC partners on the sectors programmed for liberalization isa strong measure of the incremental market access potential. The higher the averagetariffs currently, obviously, the greater market access created as a result of sector

liberalization. The tariff computed is the average of the MFN tariffs levied by APECpartners on the sectors. In order to determine the impact of the sectoral liberalization,the APEC partners’ tariffs should be weighed by the shares of the APEC members’imports in the total APEC exports of the Philippines in these sectors. One limitationof this indicator is that it does not take into account the existing RTAs that thePhilippine has concluded with APEC members, indicating a possible overstatement ofthe offensive interest. As outlined in box 1, the intensity of the offensive interest isgoverned not only by the magnitude of the potential export capability, nor only by thecurrent average levels of tariffs on Philippine exports by its APEC partners, but alsoby the combination of variables. Thus, the offensive interest is deemed stronger if thevariables identified in the criteria appear simultaneously.

On the other hand, indicators for the defensive interest include the presenceof tariff peaks in at least 20 per cent of the tariff lines under the identified sector. Thetariff peak can be regarded as indicative of the sensitivity of the sector, particularly tointernational competition. In addition, one may also compare the average MFN tariffof the Philippines for the “principal supplier” goods with the average MFN tariff of theAPEC member economies for the sectors proposed for sectoral liberalization. If theAPEC average MFN tariff of the sector in question exceeds that of the national

Asia-Pacific Development Journal Vol. 18, No. 1, June 2011

91

average, then one can infer that the defensive interest in that sector is relativelypronounced. As the box shows, the intensity of the defensive interest is a function ofthe prevalence of tariff peaks and relative magnitudes of the MFN tariffs of the sectorin the region against the national average. Under this scheme, defensive interest isconsidered strong when the criteria of the incidence of tariff peaks and the magnitudeof average sectoral tariffs are simultaneously met. The position is said to bemoderate or weak when either one of the criteria are met, but not simultaneously.Table 10 summarizes the degree of offensive and defensive interests of thePhilippines in each of the product groups identified for liberalization on a sectorallevel, according to categories and criteria outlined in box 1.

Again, the criteria outlined in the box can be modified depending on thepreference of the policymakers. Consequently, the definitions of strong, moderate orweak interest could vary depending on the criteria set. While this feature may renderthe process quite ad hoc, it nevertheless makes it quite flexible for purpose of policyresearch.

V. FINAL REMARKS

APEC has been at a crossroads for a number of years already. After theinitial enthusiasm of Bogor waned in the wake of the Asian financial crisis, APEC triedto revive the trade liberalization agenda. The current initiative, FTAAP, has not beenfully supported by all members. While ambitious, a multitude of political sensitivitiesand the general RTA “fatigue” factor prevent the FTAAP from advancing forwardstrongly. Yet, it is still one of the most concrete ideas tabled to advance the pillar oftrade liberalization.

This paper puts forward an alternative to FTAAP. The modality is sectoralliberalization on an MFN basis, founded on the analytical basis of “principal supplier”approach and a variant of the non-preferential trading club. In a departure from theill-fated EVSL, the proposed initiative chooses the sectors to be liberalized on thebasis of minimizing free riding by non-APEC members. Candidates for sectoralliberalization are those sectors where APEC economies supply a significant portion ofworld exports. Using a benchmark or cut-off rate of 70 per cent, over 282 productsare identified for sectoral liberalization. These products, in total, constitute close tohalf of all APEC exports and about 40 per cent of APEC imports in 2005.

Of course, while the APEC, as a collective, stands to benefit from theproposed sectoral liberalization, the impact on the individual member differs from oneeconomy to another. The case study on the Philippines showed that sectoralliberalization, whilst serving its offensive interests, have a negative impact on the

Asia-Pacific Development Journal Vol. 18, No. 1, June 2011

92

defensive interests in some sectoral categories. Because of the trade-offs,a balancing of the political economy of sectoral liberalization has to be struck. Thispaper provides a system of assessing the offensive and defensive interest ofmembers in light of the liberalization methodology proposed, as an aid fordecision-making. Given a set of criteria that includes export shares, incidence of tariffpeaks, etc., the Philippines has moderate offensive and defensive interests in thesectors identified for liberalization. Of course, this analysis did not take intoconsideration the increase in consumer welfare that liberalization makes possible.

Admittedly, the proposed sectoral initiative has a more modest claim toliberalization outcomes compared to the FTAAP. However, the outcomes may bemore politically acceptable to members because of the manner in which the free riderproblem is skirted. Thus, there could be greater scope for APEC members toharmonize their liberalization efforts by targeting the selected sectors. In addition,because of its MFN characteristic, it is more in keeping with the WTO principle andcould, in fact, be a catalyst in pushing forward the DDA. This is open regionalism.
