TL;DR: APEC was made in response to other trade agreements such as EU. APEC aims to be a free trade zone in the Asia-Pacific area to increase trade, reduce unemployment and increase living standards in Asia-Pacific. This is essentially just a theory at the present time, however, because they just seldom meet and when they do meet, other issues are discussed such as terrorism. APEC accounts for 41% of the world's population, 54% of the world's GDP and 44% of world trade. APEC aims to achieve free trade and therefor reduce unemployment in the Asia-Pacific region. APEC encourages free trade and investment. It is also non-discriminatory, meaning that they will trade with countries outside their agreement so long as the other country gives equal access to their markets. APEC is different to the EU because of this. If the EU trades with a country that is not part of their agreement, they tend to impose greater tariffs. This leads to less trade.
