Proposal establishing the Community position within the General Council of the World Trade Organization on the accession of the Republic of Cape Verde

Members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the Republic of Cape Verde reached the concluding stage of agreement on the terms for Cape Verde’s accession to the organisation. This came after eight years of negotiations, which began when Cape Verde submitted its application to join the WTO in 1999.

There had to be a Council Decision approving the terms of Cape Verde' accession, before the European Union could formally support Cape Verde's entry.
