Many countries around the world have set up free trade and economic zones as a way to accelerate the economic development of regions, manage post-industrial property and infrastructure, create new jobs and attract foreign investors. Only few European Union member states have Special Free Economic Zones inside the World\u2019s biggest trading block and single market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
