Links on India-Japan CEPA

It appears an internal voluntary Indian steel import tariff exemption on semi-finished is being considered on re-exports: http://www.sme.in/CurrentNews.aspx?NewsID=2183

Interesting interview with President/CEO of JFE Steel regarding general Indian interests.

Recent article on possible Japanese steel market growth plans in India.

Specific to rolled steel semi-finished products to be exported to India.http://e.nikkei.com/e/fr/tnks/Nni20101025D25JFF05.htm

Nothing specific to coil or the agreement yet other than, "The Devil is in the Details." Many sectors face almost immediate reductions in tariffs while others will be slowly staged over the next nine to ten years.

This steel news website might provide better intel?

It appears we are not alone in having few details about this CEPA?

Thus how could it be considered "free trade" if no one can even read the text of the agreement?
