When was the free trade agreement assigned?

Iraq has signed a free-trade agreement with three other Arab countries at the conclusion of an Arab Economic Union meeting in Baghdad, the first there since 1991.
    The accord was signed Thursday by trade ministers from Iraq, Egypt, Syria and Libya. Officials say the free trade agreement is the first step towards establishing a common Arab market. Iraq is still under United Nations economic sanctions imposed after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Earlier this year, Iraq signed bilateral free trade agree-merits with Egypt and Syria.
    Reuters news agency reports Iraq’s imports from Arab nations makes up 50 percent of Baghdad’s annual trade.
