Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Free Trade Agreements (negotiations)
Spanish term or phrase: en proceso, en perspectiva
In a document describing the status of various FTAs (not yet signed), some are described as negociado, pendiente de ratificacion, "en proceso" y "en perspectiva".

I am wondering how we describe these last two stages in English. Thanks!
