Auto Pact and the GATT Policy Negotiations

In relation to the GATT Policy Negotiations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following explanation and/or definition of Auto Pact: (Formally known as the Automotive Products Trade Agreement.) A bilateral agreement signed in 1965 between the United States and Canada, providing duty-free treatment of most automotive products. The Auto Pact was augmented in 1988 by the US-Canada Free Trade Agreement, which required the phase out of remaining auto duties by 1998.
