EU market access seminars in Harare: how to export from Zimbabwe to the EU?
Zimbabwe ratified the interim Economic Partnership Agreement (iEPA) with the EU in 2012, starting its and provisional application on 14th May, 2012. This agreement offers Zimbabwe a preferential access to the EU market but, how can local business benefit from it?
How can Zimbabwean business export their vegetables, clothing or wood to the EU?
The EU Delegation in Zimbabwe and the European Commission's Trade dept will organise Export Helpdesk capacity-building seminars in Harare in June to clarify these issues.
Export Helpdesk coordinator, Ines Escudero, will animate three capacity-building workshops on how to export vegetables, clothing and wood to the EU.
