Description

"EVERYTHING BUT ARMS" INITIATIVE

The European Union opened its trade door to virtually all products from the world's poorest states. The "everything but arms" policy, recently adopted by the European Commission, applies to the least developed countries, eliminating quotas and duties on all products, except weapons, from the world's poorest 49 nations. In this edition of World Chronicle, Richard Wyatt, Acting Head of the European Commission Delegation to the United Nations, talks about the impact of the "everything but arms" initiative on world poverty.
