Taking into consideration the profound implications of ROO for enhancing trade flows and facilitating the success of regional integration, this article sheds light on the way that ROO in GAFTA are designed and implemented. Moreover, the article examines the extent to which ROO still represents an obstacle to the full implementation of GAFTA. In addition, the article provides ways to overcome the most important shortcomings of ROO text in the agreement and ultimately offering possible solutions to those issues.

- The mandate covers sharing information and experiences and doing regional focused papers.
UNCTAD-SELA Working Group on Trade and
Competition
15. • Competition law and policy is crucial to achieve open markets, foster innovation and efficiency,
providing for a level playing field that offers SMEs and newcomers business opportunities;
• Competition policy complements trade policy, being instrumental for countries to secure gains
achieved through trade liberalization;
• Regional Trade Agreements have contributed to improve the understanding of Competition
provisions' role and to encourage the adoption of national Competition laws, while fostering
cooperation regarding cross-border anticompetitive practices;
• Regional Trade Agreements between developing countries (AfCFTA) and "ad hoc" regional
networks provide members with stronger and more effective instruments to tackle global
anticompetitive practices and lead to partnerships and regional and international cooperation:
at the same time, they feed into the international Competition law and policy setting.
