Non-State Actors To Be Involved In EPAs Talks-Moroka

In an interview with the Monitor Business, Minister Neo Moroka said it is the intention of government to engage the private sector as negotiations move into services, adding that government is spearheading the negotiations on behalf of non-state actors.

Speaking after the signing of the interim EPA agreement between four SADC states - Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique and Swaziland - and the European Union (EU), Moroka explained that services would need technical expertise and core negotiators.
