The UK’s new trade agreements with Ghana and Cameroon

The UK has signed ‘rollover’ trade agreements with Ghana and Cameroon respectively. These are largely based on the EU’s agreements with these countries, though there are some differences in the text of the deals.

The briefing covers a number of issues that arise in the trade deals, including:

  • Concerns about the lack of democratic scrutiny
  • Specific human rights abuses in Cameroon
  • The impact of the deals on regional trade and development
  • The inclusion of rendez-vous clauses for future negotiations
