CEFTA Week 2011
CEFTA Week 2011 saw over 100 participants take part in a variety of CEFTA related events. Participants included government officials from all the CEFTA Parties, international organisations, think tanks, business community, academics and international experts from the EU, GIZ, IFC, OECD and the World Bank.
CEFTA Week focused in particular on the main priorities of the Chairmanship 2011 which include elimination of non-tariff barriers, trade in services, customs cooperation, trade facilitation and investment. It also provided an excellent opportunity to assess progress and economic impact to date, to debate new challenges and new potential future developments and provided an opportunity for key stakeholders to voice their comments and make suggestions on the potential future developments.
CEFTA Week was organised in the premises of OECD in Paris.
