Solution

The correct option is A Trade Liberalisation

Explanation:

  • The Early harvest scheme is a precursor to a free trade agreement (FTA) between two trading partners.
  • This is to help the two trading countries to identify certain products for tariff liberalisation pending the conclusion of FTA negotiation. It is primarily a confidence building measure.
  • A good example of an EHS is between India and Thailand wherein 83 products were identified to be reduced to zero in a phased manner.
  • The EHS has been used as a mechanism to build greater confidence amongst trading partners to prepare them for even bigger economic engagement.
