Trade: African Ministers and CSOs in scathing attack on EPAs
Accra, 22 Apr (Riaz K. Tayob) - Economic Partnership Agreements came under heavy attack from two African ministers who criticised the EPAs while many African NGOs called for their governments to reject and pull out of these free trade agreements with the European Union.
This took place at a NGO side event at UNCTAD XII convened on Tuesday by the Africa Trade Network with the objective of presenting its views and engaging with officials.
