The EU and Cameroon have signed a 'stepping stone' Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), the first of its kind between the EU and a Central African trade partner. Louis Paul Motazé, Cameroon's Minister for the Economy, Planning and Land Settlement and Peter Thompson Director of Development and EPAs in DG Trade at the European Commission signed the agreement in the Cameroonian capital Yaoundé. The agreement combines the benefits of a trade agreement with development assistance targeted at accelerating growth and development in Cameroon. The final goal remains to conclude a full EPA with all the members of the Central African region that will promote competitiveness, growth and investment while accelerating regional integration. |
