EPA Flash News, European Commission, 23 march 2010
EU and West African representatives met in Praia, Cape Verde, on 17-18 March 2010 to discuss services and investments in the framework of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), currently being negotiated. Around 60 participants from national governments in the West African region discussed with European Commission experts issues relating to trade in services and investment in the context of an EPA. The workshop aimed at providing technical insights and allowed exchanging ideas outside the formal negotiation context. It helped clarify, for instance, that services commitments in the EPA can be tailored to meet the needs of individual countries and do not have to be uniform throughout the region.
