European Union–Singapore Free Trade Agreement

The EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, acronym EUSFTA, is a signed and ratified[1][2] free trade and bilateral investment treaty between the European Union and Singapore.

EUSFTA has been negotiated since March 2010 and its text has been publicly accessible since June 2015.

[3] The negotiations on goods and services were completed in 2012, on investment protection on October 17, 2014.

The opinion was requested by the European Commission, which wanted to confirm whether the EU institutions alone were entitled to conclude the agreement, without the individual member states being parties.

[7][9] The separate investment protection agreement will also need to be approved individually by each EU member state.
