Business activitiessoon attract the attention of other countries in similar geography to share thewealth such as Malaysia, Filipina, Myanmar, Cambodia, Singapore,Vietnam, Thai/and, Laos, Myanmar and Brunei Darussalam. However, theinternational society would have to face the import taxes that impedesf oreign goods from flowing into state member' market.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a multilateral free-trade agreement which New Zealand became a party to in 2016. This article focuses on the inconsistencies that arise between the language of the TPP and New Zealand law, with respect to data exclusivity regimes. Compliance with the TPP seems to entail an extension to the terms of data exclusivity for both biologics and small-molecule pharmaceuticals. This may have the effect of impeding access to medicines by delaying the entry of competition into the market. In particular the underlying rationale behind the biologic data exclusivity provisions appears to be the protection of American corporate profits rather than the stimulation of innovation or the long-term improvement of access to healthcare. As a result, these provisions are not in New Zealand's interest and if implemented into law they may be economically detrimental.

China and New Zealand were able to sign a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2008, in spite of the large differences in standards under which they were respectively negotiating trade agreements in the international arena. This article starts with a descriptive analysis of these differences between each country’s standards in terms of FTA quality. With the description of these standards, which seem to stand on opposite sides of a continuum, we examine why China and New Zealand decided to forego the standards under which they had negotiated previous agreements in order to find a middle ground. This process of convergence showcases how the interests of both parties moved them towards the adoption of a middle ground which enabled them to negotiate a win-win agreement.
