Costa Rican Deputy Joselyn Sáenz has appealed to the Constitutional Court (Sala Constitucional) demanding that the Foreign Trade Promotion Agency (Comex) release the minutes from discussions surrounding the Trans-Pacific Agreement. Sáenz seeks clarity and transparency regarding the negotiation process of the agreement. Minister Indiana Trejos defended the negotiation process, stating that all sectors were invited to participate, but some chose not to. The deputy’s action indicates concerns over the level of inclusivity and openness during the agreement’s development in Costa Rica. This legal challenge aims to ensure full access to information regarding the Trans-Pacific Agreement’s formation. The case now rests with the Sala Constitucional to determine if Comex will be compelled to release the requested documents. This move highlights ongoing debates surrounding international trade negotiations and public access to information within Costa Rica.
