The ASEAN Charter, which entered into force on 15 December 2008, provides a legal and
institutional framework to support the realization of ASEANs objectives, including regional
integration.
India and ASEAN-
India relation with ASEAN started a decade ago when INDIA became sctoral dialoguepartner in 1992.
In 1995 India became a full dialogue partner in fifth ASEAN summit which held inBangkok
India became a member of ASEAN regional forum(ARF) in1996 In 2009 India signed a free trade agreement (FTA) in Thailand. Under the ASEAN-India
FTA, ASEAN member countries and India will lift import tariffson more than 80 per cent
of traded products between 2013 and 2016.
TRADE RELATION BETWEEN INDIA AND ASEAN
ASEAN is Indias 4th largest trading partner after the EU, US and China. Indo-ASEAN trade
relation is growing with annual growth rate of 27% since 2000. By 2010 India and ASEAN plan to
achieve an ambitious target of US$ 50 billion.
Indian trade relation with various ASEAN countries
Singapore
India and Singapore enjoy good trade relations. Besides, the country is considered to be a
gateway to ASEAN and china. The signing of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation
Agreement in 2005 has provided a fresh impetus to trade relations between the two nations.
The Singapore companies to a greater extent have started engaging themselves in
infrastructure and real estate projects in India and even have been looking forward to associate
with logistics and communication sector, education, healthcare and training, retail and the
automotive sectors.
They are also embarking onto developmental and planning projects like roads, ports, airports,
power and telecom sector.

Challenges and barrier for business
1. Economic growth since 1990 The first half of the 1990s was a period of strong growth in the ASEAN region,
during which the economies of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam
grew, on average, 6 per cent or more annually. The region as a whole was hit
hard, however, by the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98.
The economies of Indonesia and Thailand contracted during the second half of the

decade, while those of Malaysia and Singapore in particular, but also Viet Nam, grew at a
much slower pace. The early years of the millennium have seen steady economic growth
in the aforementioned countries, but at a slower pace than the early 1990s, with the
exception of Viet Nam.
The growth paths of the remaining ASEAN members have been rather different.Although benefiting from high oil prices in recent years, the economy of
Brunei Darussalam is smaller in 2006 than it was in 1990. Alone among the ASEAN
founding members, the Philippines did not benefit from the boom of the
early 1990s; the countrys economy actually declined during that period.
Although its growth rates have picked up somewhat since the mid-1990s, the averageannual growth rate in the Philippines during the last decade and a half has been an
anemic 1.5 per cent, the second lowest in the ASEAN region after Brunei Darussalam.
Economic growth rates in ASEAN countries, 1990-2006
1990-95 1995-2000 2000-05 2 006 1990-2006

The member countries that joined ASEAN after 1996, Cambodia, the Lao PeoplesDemocratic Republic and Myanmar, were for various reasons rather insulated
from the globalizing world at the beginning of the 1990s. Following the peace
settlement and elections in 1993, the economy of Cambodia has grown at average
annual rates higher during each successive half-decade.
The growth experience of the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic and Myanmar hasbeen similar. Myanmar is the only country in the ASEAN region with an average annual
economic growth rate of over 7 per cent since 1990.

It should be noted, however, that the large discrepancy between official andunofficial foreign exchange rates and the weakness of the countrys statistical
system makes a true assessment ofMyanmar s growth performance difficult.
This is reflected in the wide variation in estimates of the countrys GDP growth rate
in recent years. The 2005 estimate, for example, of IMF was 13.2 per cent, of ADB 12.2per cent and of the Economist Intelligence Unit 5.2 per cent.
Despite good economic growth in the ASEAN region on average since 1990, andalthough most poorer members have grown at least as rapidly as the richer ones,
there are still large disparities in development outcomes between countries.
The largest disparities are found for some environmental indicators (such as CFCconsumption, CO2 emissions, water withdrawal, per capita energy consumption) and
health indicators (as under-5 mortality, HI9 prevalence, maternal mortality).
Very high inequalities also exist in infrastructure endowments (Internet users, road
density), even if in some cases they derive from the physical characteristics of thecountry (size, topography).
Most of the economic development indicators (labor productivity, GDP per capita,share of agricultural value added, ratio of exports to GDP, export concentration index)
and poverty indicators ($1/ day poverty, underweight children) show intermediate
levels of inequality. Lastly, disparities across ASEAN members are relatively low for some
dimensions of environmental sustainability (forest cover, sanitation and water
access), and negligible for indicators of employment, primary education and gender
parity in education.
Trade and investment
The development gaps in trade and investment between ASEAN members are alsopotential obstacles to the further development of regional integration. Exports from
ASEAN countries totaled US$719 billion in 2006, placing the export value of the region
behind China but ahead of Japan.
The exports of Singapore amount to almost two and a half times its GDP; inMalaysia, also, the value of exports exceeds GDP. The dependency of Indonesia and
the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic on trade, on the other hand, is much smaller,
with a ratio of exports to GDP of just over and well below, respectively, one third.
The exports of the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic are, with an exportconcentration index of 0.4, also rather homogenous, a phenomenon the country
shares with Cambodia, the Philippines and, especially, Brunei Darussalam (0.6). The
export structures of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet
Nam (0.1-02.), on the other hand, are much more diversified.

The liberalization efforts under the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) have not resulted in asignificant increase in intraregional trade, which remains at the level of one
quarter of total ASEAN trade, despite its relatively sound growth since the early
1990s. The contribution of intraregional trade to GDP at the ASEAN level is still four
times smaller than the contribution ofASEANs total trade, which in 2005 surpassed
130 per cent Obviously, ASEAN as a whole did not build a fortress type of integration, but
remained outward-oriented. There are sharp disparities, however, between the
openness of countries in terms of both merchandise and service exports. Singapore
and Malaysia are consistently more dependent on exports than ASEAN as a group
and some other lesser developed members.
Furthermore, in terms of regional orientation of exports and imports, somemembers trade predominantly with other ASEAN countries (for example the Lao
Peoples Democratic Republic and Myanmar), while others almost exclusively with
the rest of the world (for example Cambodia, the Philippines, or Viet Nam). Singapore
also shows an intraregional share of exports and imports well above the average.
Intra-ASEAN investment is promoted through the ASEAN Investment Area (AIA), whichaims at gradually liberalizing rules and policies on investment among ASEAN
members. On average, there has been a strong reliance on FDI from outside the
region and ratios of intra-ASEAN to total FDI ranged from 6 per cent to 26 per cent
during the period 1995-2001.
However, the dependence of CLMV (Cambodia, the Lao PeoplesDemocratic Republic, Myanmar, Viet Nam) countries on ASEAN for FDI is much
higher, particularly in some of the priority sectors (e.g. agro-based, rubber-based and
wood-based products).
Strategies approach of ASEAN
There are three types of strategies
1. Types of Activities2. Project Administration3. Time Frame and Scheduling1. Types of Activities
The ASEAN Foundation concentrates on the following types of activities:
Information dissemination campaigns. These campaigns will have to make extensiveuse of high information technology and mass media but will also make use of various

other ways of reaching target audiences, including speakers' bureaus and cultural
events.
Network-building . These activities are designed to bring together ASEAN institutions,groups and eminent individuals in various fields covered by Functional Cooperation such
as science and technology, management of development, culture and information,ssenvironment, etc.
Human resources development projects. These activities are designed to enhance theknowledge and skills of ASEAN's manpower (including the youth and women, small
entrepreneurs, professionals, social workers, rural extension workers, health care
workers and development managers). Such activities may be in the form of education,
training, seminars, workshops, fellowships and exchanges.
2. Project AdministrationThe project activities of the ASEAN Foundation will be administered in three basic ways:
Projects and activities that will be supervised and monitored and regularly evaluated bythe ASEAN Foundation but carried out by proponents. In these instances, the
Foundation will serve as the main source of funding and will have complete
responsibility and authority over the project. The proponents may be NGOs and public
institutions.
Projects carried out in collaboration with other ASEAN bodies or NGOs and other privateentities. Projects of this type involve a sharing of resources, responsibility and authority.
It is expected that over time, most of the Foundation's projects will be of this type.
Projects and activities that will be carried out by the ASEAN Foundation itself. Someresearch and information dissemination efforts as well as the holding of public events
are entirely within the capability of the Foundation to undertake, although eventually
even these will preferably be carried out in cooperation with the private sector.
Time Frame and Scheduling
The actions in the Foundation's Plan of Action are to be implemented over a three-year
period starting from the date of approval of this Plan. These actions and activities
constitute the Foundation's first comprehensive effort to fulfill its mandate and
contribute to the mission of ASEAN in the sphere of Functional Cooperation.

GlOBAL FUTURE VECHILE PROGRAMME DATA OUT TO 2020
This news has been hot issue from last one month on global chart.This is all about capturing
international auto industry in which china,US,India and many more countries companies are
showing their effort to capture more market share.
Globally, 2010 presented the auto industry with a lot of challenges, especially how to move
metal as government incentives offered over the preceding two years ended. Sales results have
been mixed but not all bad; the US ended better than expected and Australia passed a million
for only the third time. China surged again. We've gathered our reports - including the odd
brave forecast for infinity and beyond.
LDB (Product Life Database) from just-auto covers all regions, so tracking both existing vehicles
and models in development by American, Chinese, European, Japanese, Indian or Russian OEMs
is easy.
As well as being searchable by architecture/platform, plant location and country of build, PLDB
also lists vehicle lifecycle, codename, expected next update/facelift or model replacement date.
All entries are constantly audited, and, as the latest developments come to light, updated.
PLDB lists 1524 current and future global models from 127 OEM groups, spread across 195
brands, with data for 463 vehicles having been checked or revised in the last month. Simply

GLOBAL NEWS ANALYSIS -2
ASEAN URGED TO FACILITATE INTRAREGIONAL TRADE
ASEAN countries apply very low import tariffs and boast fairly open domestic markets, whilebenefiting from very low tariffs in most export markets. The recent liberalization efforts havestrengthened the efficiency of transport services, contributing to lower logistics costs, and theregulatory environment is by and large conducive to trade, says the report.
On the other hand, the study finds that inefficient border administration and inadequateinfrastructure represent major barriers to trade in the region and affect the competitiveness ofASEANs exports by increasing costs and shipping times.
Among the weaknesses, corruption in most ASEAN countries seriously undermines thetransparency and predictability of border clearance, and the quality of the general businessenvironment.
"This study is a timely reminder of how the facilitation of trade now drives economic integration;how a countrys ability to connect to the global economy increasingly defines its
competitiveness; and why progress on trade facilitation in the current Doha Round is so criticalto Asia and the developing world as a whole," explained Pascal Lamy, Director-General of theGeneva-based World Trade Organization (WTO).
