Restructuring central Africa's integration - much awaits

Abstract

Free movement of persons and goods is the most essential point of regional integration, but this does not mean that security concerns are not taken on board, recently remarked the Chairperson of the Steering Committee for the Restructuring of Regional Economic Communities in Central Africa (COPIL/CER), Mr. Emmanuel NGANOU DJOUMESSI, who also doubles as Cameroon's Minister for the Economy, Planning and Regional Development. This was during the third session of COPIL/CER devoted to review of draft instruments covering five of the twelve priority areas of harmonization in a bid to materialize the process of rationalization of Regional Economic Communities in Central Africa, namely ECCAS and CEMAC.
