Details

The chapter commits the Parties to rules on how State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) are run and transparency requirements. These provisions will ensure open and fair competition between private enterprises and businesses owned by Australian or UK governments.

The chapter also provides for co-operation in improving rules concerning SOEs internationally, such as at the World Trade Organization (WTO).
