EU wants equal treatment from DR

[NewsWhore]

The European Union is asking for the same treatment from the DR as was given to the United States in the framework of negotiations for DR-CAFTA, says the Dominican Ambassador to Belgium, Federico Cuello Camilo. Clave Digital reports that according to the ambassador, the county has listened very closely to those arguments and will define its position together with the other Caribbean countries, because they are all negotiating with the EU as a block. The decision on the issue of the most favored nation must be made as block because if the DR accepts the EU's claims, the other Caribbean nations, which have not negotiated an FTA with the US, could be affected by having to concede the same rights to the Europeans. The diplomat considers the EU's argument as political "because they want their investors and exporters to benefit from the same conditions that the other country will enjoy", he explained.
