Are EPAs a coherent Policy for Development? – Interview to Marc Maes

Posted by Fausto Aarya De Santis on March 28, 2010 under Interviews, Video | Be the First to Comment

Marc Maes, member of a Belgian coalition of  non-governmental organizations (NGOs) known as 11.11.11, believes that the current EPAs (Economic Partnership Agreements) arranged by the EU to open a free trade market between EU and the ACP Countries, are not really focused to support Development, as EU is affirming. In his opinion, if the ACP Countries signed the EPAs, the immediate consequences would be an increase of their internal costs, less Government income and the division of Africa.
