Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Manuel A.J. Teehankee of the Philippines at the Trade Policy Review of Samoa, 10 and 12 April 2019

This third joint Review of East African Community (EAC) Member countries has provided us with a good opportunity to assess the developments in their trade policies and practices, in the context of their regional integration initiatives, since their previous joint Review in 2012. We now have a better understanding of their trade regimes and the challenges they are facing.
