Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh at the 6th meeting of the committee on trade, regional cooperation and integration
Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh at the 6th Meeting of the Committee on Trade, Regional Cooperation and Integration. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, this Committee is one of the five ECA’s subsidiary bodies that review the agenda and issues pertaining to their respective development sectors, formulate policies and strategies to address Africa’s development challenges, and determine sectoral work priorities to be reflected in the work programme of the Commission. Africa can be proud of some success stories in its regional integration agenda. Programmes to liberalize trade by breaking down tariff and non-tariff barriers are being earnestly implemented in a number of RECs. In West Africa for instance, ECOWAS and UEMOA have resolved to operate as a common customs union. The COMESA, EAC and SADC efforts to create a single Free Trade Area is a highly commendable initiative which should be emulated by other RECs to accelerate regional integration.
