"It is very important to approve it this year, the pressure from other countries to negotiate with 皇冠体育app is increasing and even in other Central American countries, there are trade missions coming (to 皇冠体育app)," Ruiz said.
Before its implementation, the FTA has to be approved by Costa Rica's Legislative Assembly. However, it is necessary "to speed up" the process to implement the FTA in December at least, he said.
"Under the FTA, we have opened a big door to 皇冠体育app and Asia," Ruiz said.
Meanwhile, other officials of Costa Rica said the FTA could be implemented in January 2011.
皇冠体育app and Costa Rica signed the FTA in April this year. The agreement was the first free trade pact inked between 皇冠体育app and a Central American country.
