The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is an agreement signed by the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States that creates a trilateral trade bloc in North America. The agreement came into force on January 1, 1994. It replaced the free trade agreement between the United States and Canada. However, this part of the result was not authorized by Congress and the U.S. selling price was not abolished until Congress passed the results of the Tokyo Round. The results in agriculture as a whole have been poor. The most notable achievement was the agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding on the basic elements for the arrangement of global subsidies, which was eventually incorporated into a new international agreement on cereals. Japan`s strong economic growth played an important role in its later role as an exporter, but the kennedy Round`s centre of gravity has always been the relationship between the United States and the EEC.

In addition, the chemical negotiations resulted in an interim agreement on the abolition of the US selling price (ASP). This was a method of assessing certain chemicals used by these countries for the institution of import duties, which gave domestic producers a much higher level of protection than indicated under tariff conditions. While THE GATT was a set of rules agreed upon by nations, the WTO is an intergovernmental organization with its own headquarters and staff, whose scope covers both traded goods and trade in the service sector and intellectual property rights. Although used for multilateral agreements, multilateral agreements have led to selective exchanges and fragmentation among members in several rounds of negotiations (particularly the Tokyo Round). WTO agreements are generally a multilateral mechanism for the settlement of GATT agreements.
