Abstract: 
Im November 2020 wurde das RCEP-Abkommen als größtes Freihandelsabkommen der Welt von Brunei, Kambodscha, Indonesien, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, den Philippinen, Singapur, Thailand, Vietnam sowie Australien, China, Japan, Neuseeland und Südkorea unterzeichnet. Bis Ende 2022 soll das Abkommen ratifiziert sein und in Kraft treten. Zusammen entfallen auf die Mitgliedsländer 25 % des internationalen Waren- und Dienstleistungsverkehrs. Es stellt sich die Frage, welche positiven und negativen Auswirkungen das Freihandelsabkommen für die Mitgliedsländer sowie die EU haben wird.
Abstract (Translated): 
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a multilateral free trade agreement (FTA) between the member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and five Asia-Pacific countries, with which ASEAN has existing FTAs in the Asia-Pacific region. It was initiated with the aim to broaden and deepen regional trade and investment among the signatories. The agreement was finalised and signed in November 2020. It is now the largest free trade agreement in the world. The article examines the expected effects and their implications for the EU. It also outlines strategic ways in which the EU could respond to this new agreement.
