Regular supplements with further liberalisations have been signed between the Mainland and Macau governments. The most recent,Supplement VIII (also referred to as CEPA VIII),was signed in December 2011 and enters into effect on 1 April 2012.
The two agreements and additional supplements were signed in the Chinese language. The Chinese text is therefore the authoritative text.
