Description
Supporting the activities of ETLS by ECOWAS national units in member states is one of the main outcomes of the regional meeting of National Committees for Community Origin Recognition (NCCOR) held in Accra, Ghana, from the 9th to 12th of September 2025 to assess the implementation of the scheme with the view to improving intra-community trade in Made-in-ECOWAS goods.
The ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (ETLS) is the Community’s principal instrument for the duty-free cross-border movement of Community goods in the ECOWAS region with the National Committees for Community Origin Recognition (NCCOR) as the national organs responsible for the management of ETLS in member states
Opening the meeting on behalf of the ECOWAS Commissioner for Economic Affairs and Agriculture, Madam Massandje TOURE-LITSE, the Director of Customs union and Taxation Mr. Salifou TIEMTORE, underscored the important role of the NCCOR in member states in ensuring that goods originating in member states are able to circulate freely without the payment of Customs duties and taxes of equivalent effect. He stated that, effective implementation of ETLS is at the heart of the Community’s quest for industrial development and economic competitiveness in the face of the existing strong regional market in ECOWAS.
