Cape Verde Monday informed the World Trade Organisation (WTO) that it has accepted its membership package to become the organisation's 153rd member.
The membership will be effective 30 days after the acceptance of its membership term by July 23, a release posted on the website of the WTO yesterday stated.
On December 18, 2007, the General Council cleared the path for Cape Verde's membership in the WTO by approving a package of agreements which spell out the terms of Cape Verde's accession.
Cape Verde has been negotiating its WTO membership since 1999 and under the chairmanship of US representative David Shark, the Working Party concluded over 7 years of negotiations on 6 December 2007, the statement read.
