The IEU-CEPA covers market access for goods, with both parties committing to eliminating tariffs on 98 per cent of the total tariff items and 99 per cent of the total import value, he was cited as saying by a domestic news agency.

He explained that several products like footwear, textiles and textile products have optimal market access due to comparative advantage.
