Experts to harmonize trade cooperation instruments in Central Africa

Stakeholders attending the adhoc experts group meeting held in Douala, Cameroun agreed on a common framework for harmonization of trade cooperation instruments between the Central African Monetary and Economic Community (CEMAC) and the Economic Community of Central African States. They recommended the harmonization of rules of origin, certificates of origin, compensation mechanisms and treatments of re-exports within the subregion. The objective is to unify and strengthen the subregional market space.

The harmonization of trade cooperation instruments in Central Africa is due for completion by the end of January 2008. The ECA's subregional office in Central Africa is providing technical support for the process.
