Meeting on Economic Partnership Agreements between TRID and ECA’s Sub Regional Offices: Remarks by Ms. Lalla Ben Barka, deputy executive secretary, Economic Commission for Africa

Abstract

In spite of the pressures of these activities, the Divisions of ECA, including TRID, have continued to ensure that their programmes run on schedule. TRID has in the last one and half week also been intensely involved in providing support to the African Negotiators for the on-going General Council of the WTO, and has also been preparing for the Doha Round modalities negotiations in anticipation of a positive outcome on the framework agreement. Also, the Division spearheaded the successful launch of ECA’s ARIA globally and within the continent.
