The president of the Dominican Exporters Association (Adoexpo) says that outside of free zone exports, the DR exports more to Europe than to the US. Ricardo Koenig of Adoexpo said that the European Union imported 29.33% of all Dominican exports, while the US imported 26.47%.
Koenig says these are good times for Dominican exporters to make the most of the opportunities available under the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Community. Koenig said that the country should establish a new target for exports, and in the same way develop the European market "as a door towards growth and development." He described the EPA as the best trade deal worked out by the government.
Speaking at the first seminar organized by the European Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry in the Dominican Republic and the CEI-RD, he invited the export sector to visit Adoexpo to obtain better knowledge of the tools needed to make the most of the treaty.
