NAFTA reflects the Parties' recognition that liberalization of host country investment restrictions is as important as the elimination of trade barriers.

Among the numerous areas that are to be covered in the series are topics as diverse as agriculture, dispute settlement, environment, intellectual property rights, investment, and labour.
