Deepening EU-Malaysia relations

In 2010, the EU and Malaysia entered into parallel negotiations on a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) and a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with a view to considerably broadening the scope of existing ties between the two economies. These agreements are set to pave the way for a future inter-regional FTA between the EU and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). At present, the 1980 EC-ASEAN agreement is the legal basis for EU-Malaysia trade, economic and development cooperation.
