Cariforum-EC economic partnership agreement authorised for release

The legal scrub of the Cariforum-European Commission (EC) Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) is completed and has been authorised by Heads of Cariforum countries for official release.

A press statement from the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery (CRNM) quoted the CRNM Director-General Ambassador Richard Bernal as explaining that the legal scrub was a “verification process that checked the agreement for errors and consistency in use of terminology.”
