"The impact of EU-Korea FTA on Chinas economic and trade: Based on the Dynamic GTAP model " by Yu, Liu, Wanlu Dong, Yaxiong Zhang and Cai Songfeng Abstract EU-Korea FTA will come into effect in July 2011.European Union and South Korea are respectively Chinas first and third largest trading partner.
