ASEAN FEDERATION OF ENGINEERING

ORGANIZATION

The ASEAN Federation of Engineering

Organizations (AFEO) is a non-governmental body.

Its members are the engineering institutions and

organizations of ASEAN countries

Main Objectives AFEO?

To promote goodwill and mutual understanding

To establish and develop a ASEAN baseline

standard for the engineering profession with the

objective of facilitating the mobility of the

engineers within the ASEAN countries.

AFEOs Very Important Mission

To spearhead and to facilitate the mobility of

engineers within the ASEAN Free Trade Area, i.e.

AFTA with the formation of the ASEAN Engineers

Register i.e. the AER.

This is in line with the AFTA's AFAS - programming

for the liberalization of professional services within

ASEAN to prepare for globalization under the

World Trade Organization (WTO) initiative.

Objectives of AFAS

to enhance cooperation in services in order to improve the efficiency and competitiveness, diversify production capacity and supply and distribution of services of their service suppliers

to eliminate substantially restrictions to trade in services amongst Member States; and

to liberalize trade in services by expanding the depth and scope of liberalization beyond those undertaken by Member States under the GATS with the aim to realizing a free trade area in services.
