Oct 04, 2013

BRUSSELS, CMC- Caribbean trade officials are meeting in Brussels for talks with their African and Pacific counterparts ahead of a meeting with the European Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht on Friday.
The meeting, which began Monday, will focus on a collective African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) declaration for the upcoming World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial meeting in December as well as progress on the ACP-EU Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), and an EU initiative on mineral sourcing from conflict-affected areas.
ACP and EU representatives will also jointly review the future path for the decade-long EPAs negotiations, which continues to stall over technical obstacles.
