REagle6,

what kind of trade agreements do you mean ?

When looking on free trade agreements you should not only look on the consequences of NOT meeting trade agreement but on the cost of meeting them. Managing this "spaghetti bowl" of FTAs has become extremely expensive (or even impossible because of its complexity).

REagle6

There are only cost implications to weaker countries.
