Costa Rica Granted Extension to Join CAFTA-DR
The U.S. Trade Representative has announced that an agreement was signed on October 1, 2008 that will provide Costa Rica with an extension of time until January 1, 2009 to join the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).
Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the United States signed CAFTA-DR on August 5, 2004 and is now in force for all signatories, except Costa Rica. Costa Rica approved CAFTA-DR in a national referendum in October 2007 and the implementation process is continuing.
