Cape Verde will also join the Information Technology Agreement and the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, phasing in duty-free tariff treatment on imports of electronic and telecommunications equipment, aircraft and aircraft parts over six to ten years.
Cape Verde undertook commitments in trade in services consistent with its status as an LDC, but also broadly covering most sectors, e.g., financial, telecommunications, distribution, courier, professional and other business-related; computer and related, energy related, and audio-visual services.
Cape Verde also committed to enhanced transparency for laws and regulations affecting trade in goods, services, and TRIPS, and confirmed ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive publication of laws and regulations for comment prior to implementation.
