Great Arab Free Trade Area: Achievement and Constraints |
|
Ms Waficca Hussni, NAPC researcher, along with Mr Manfred Metz, FAO international consultant, presented the results of a monitoring exercise on the Great Arab Free Trade Agreement (GAFTA). It was shown how far the implementation of GAFTA has already gone, whether it works towards achieving the planned objectives of enhancing trade, integration and development in the Member Countries, particularly in Syria, and which are the obstacles that prevent GAFTA from being fully effective. |
In the framework of the Agricultural
Policy Forum initiative promoted by the National Agricultural Policy
Center (NAPC), with the support of Project GCP/SYR/006/ITA-Phase II
funded by the Italian Government and implemented by the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, a seminar on “Monitoring
Implementation of the Great Arab Free Trade Agreement: Achievements and
Constraints” was held in Damascus, at the Center’s premises, on 28 April
2004.
