The Ghana-EU Interim Economic Partnership Agreement
A comprehensive guide to exporters...
This handbook is a guide to understanding the EU Ghana Interim Economic Partnership Agreement (iEPA) that regulates trade in goods between Ghana and the EU. From the EU side, the iEPA was effective since 2016 and from Ghana side the Agreement was effective since July 1, 2021. It provides a solid platform for introducing and managing changes over many years while still protecting sensitive or emerging/growing industries in Ghana. It encourages processed exports, with improved 'rules of origin'. It is also expected to support the diversification of Ghana exports and economic growth, encouraging the emergence of new sectors and the development of higher value-added non-traditional products.
