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 Trinidad and Tobago, 22 and 24 May 2019

The fourth Trade Policy Review of Trinidad and Tobago has indeed offered us a better understanding of trade and economic developments in the country over the past seven years. I would like to thank the Trinidad and Tobago delegation, led by H.E. Senator Paula Gopee-Scoon, Minister of Trade and Industry, for her constructive engagement throughout this Review. I would also like to thank the discussant, H.E. Ambassador Michael Gaffey of Ireland, for his insightful remarks, and all the delegations that took the floor for their valuable contributions. The more than 200 questions submitted by 15 Members, and the interventions by 23 delegations underline the importance attached by WTO Members to Trinidad and Tobago’s trade and investment policies and practices.
