    The HATC meeting is to review and discuss the recommendations of the Ministers of Trade on intra-African trade, Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA), World Trade Organization (WTO) issues, EPA and AGOA among others and give strategic guidance to the Commission on the way forward, particularly in the light of mega trade deals being concluded in the world. In particularly, the HATC will review progress towards the launch of the Continental Free Trade Area Negotiations at the next AU Summit.
