As I mentioned in my presentation, I don't think this FTA promotes fair trade. We at CIAM advocate for the highest common standards possible governing environmental and social safeguards. Therefore, we would advocate for any free trade agreement or negotiation or the like that adopts such high standards.
For example, if we compare this FTA with others in the region, such as NAFTA and CAFTA, environmental provisions are not as solid and, as I mentioned, there is no grievance mechanism provided, in specific terms, in this FTA.
Thank you.
