On Thursday 25 August, a national CSO Forum on Economic Partnership Agreements was held at Alisa Hotel. In this clip, Gyekye Tanoh touches on market opening for Ghana and ECOWAS's, and how Ghana's at 80% is "far more liberal, far more dangerous"; how the EPA is "a stumbling block" to Ghana and ECOWAS's own trade regime; how the EU is demanding greater access to raw materials, including into health. He also touches on how Ghana's manufacturing exports to the ECOWAS region will be significantly frustrated by an EPA  .
