The Comisión para la Promoción del Comercio Exterior (Comex) of Costa Rica is defending the negotiation process for the country’s adhesion to the Trans-Pacific Agreement. This defense comes in response to questions regarding transparency surrounding the negotiations. Comex is backing its claims with data on meetings held during the process and the release of technical documents. These materials are intended to demonstrate the openness of discussions concerning the agreement. Officials aim to assuage concerns about a lack of public access to information during the key stages of negotiation. The move suggests a broader effort to build support for Costa Rica’s participation in the Trans-Pacific Agreement. Further details on the released documentation are expected to be made public soon.
