The Trade and Regional Integration Division of the Economic Commission for Africa organized an expert group meeting to discuss the impact of the phasing-out of the multi-fibre agreement on the economies of North African countries. The meeting, held in Tunisia on 14 – 15 February, was organized in collaboration with the Arab Maghreb Union (UMA) and ECA's sub-regional office in North Africa. TRID presented two papers at the meeting, titled: Le Doha Round entre Promesses, Désillusion et Résignation; and the impact of the phasing out of the multi-fibre agreement on the economies of North African countries. The meeting attracted considerable press attention, and some clips and photos are attached.
