who is it who defines this status, is it defacto or does the national
government have to define these? What if the business and trade laws are
not defined on a national level? Which "business and trade laws" are meant
(does any exception to a "business or trade" law in a are lead to the
(implicit) constitution of such a zone? Which laws are relevant?). What if
the national government does not control the area?

I agree that for those cases, where the zone is explicitly defined by a
national government, this would be easy to determine, but all other cases
which might fall under the definition, are harder to decide.

Cheers
