It was initiated with the aim to broaden and deepen regional trade and investment among the signatories. The agreement was finalised and signed in November 2020. It is now the largest free trade agreement in the world. The article examines the expected effects and their implications for the EU. It also outlines strategic ways in which the EU could respond to this new agreement. CI - (c) Der/die Autor:in(nen) 2021.
