According to Foreign Relations Minster Carlos Morales Troncoso, exports to Europe have exceeded the US$600 million mark, making the signing of the EPA agreement between CARICOM and the European Union even more relevant. Morales stressed the potential benefits of the agreement for the DR, in an interview with today's Listin Diario. Morales said that the main exports to the EU were bananas, coffee, cacao, rum and sugar. Morales also spoke about the potential of increased participation by the Dominican service sector in Europe including woodworkers, plumbers and electricians. The EU has a consumer base of 480 million people. The agreement is still pending approval by the Dominican Congress.
