FREE TRADE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIET NAM, OF THE ONE PART, AND THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION AND ITS MEMBER STATES, OF THE OTHER PART (VN-EAEUFTA)

In the FTA between Vietnam and the EAEU, the Chapter on Services, Investment and Movement of Natural Persons applies only between Vietnam and Russia and not to other countries in the EAEU.

In which, commitments on service market opening for Mode 1 (Across borders supply), Mode 2 (Consumption abroad) and Mode 4 (Movement of natural persons) are made. following the “Choose – Give” method similar to the WTO.

Mode 3 (Presence of natural persons) is implemented according to the method of "Choose - Remove" like some new FTAs ​​of Vietnam such as CPTPP. Different from the “Choose – Give” method, the “Choose – Remove” method each member country will provide a List of specified service sectors that the member country does not want to open, or open to partners at a certain level, and the country only has to open at least as committed. For fields outside this List, that country will be forced to open it entirely, without any restrictions for partners.

The level of service market opening of Vietnam in the VN-EAEU FTA is not much higher than that of the WTO.
