REGION: EU-Centam deal signed and sealed
The European Union (EU) signed its first ever bloc-to-bloc regional
trade and cooperation 'Association Agreement' with Central America last week,
after four years in the pipeline. While the Central American leaders point to
various EU concessions in relation to sensitive sectors such as dairy as
evidence of success, the final deal has failed to reassure regional civil
society groups and small agricultural producers, who complain that it has not
addressed the asymmetries between the two trading blocs.
