Membership confers special trade and investment privileges within those countries. The GCC implemented a Customs Union on January 1, 2003 that stipulates free movement of local goods within member states. Leaders of the GCC have approved to allow Yemen gradual entry into their Council. The member states also agreed that they would switch to a single currency by January 1, 2010 at the latest, but the common market proposal is still being worked out. Saudi Arabia is also a member of the League of Arab States. Recently, the League has agreed to negotiate an Arab Free Trade Zone. In 2003, the United States signed a TIFA agreement with Saudi Arabia. TIFAs are typically the initial venues for ongoing dialogue between the United States and foreign governments on economic reform and trade liberalization. The agreement promotes the establishment of legal protections for investors, improvements in intellectual property protection, more transparent and
efficient customs procedures, and greater transparency in government and commercial regulations.
