I would start by saying that I have focused mainly today in the reply on tariff liberalisation, bring down the tariff schedule, but in fact, the African Continental Free-Trade Agreement is much wider than that. It also includes liberalisation of services, so, telecoms, tourism, banking, those kinds of things. In the next phase of negotiation, we are going to look at three areas - investment protection, competition and trade- related intellectual property rights.
Once we have concluded those, it may well be that it could be appropriate to look at the social package that should also be included and the social package could deal with issues such as worker rights, no child labour and those kinds of quite fundamental issues, because as South Africans, our job always is to promote our constitutional values. We cannot impose, but those constitutional values must be what we carry out in all of our international work, in our local work because the Constitution is the framework for everything that we do with public policy. It is absolutely fundamental.
So, we don't currently have what is called a social chapter in the African Continental Free-Trade Agreement. We have involved the trade union movement and business community through Nedlac in discussion about what we liberalise and what we hold back. I have no doubt that the time will come when it would be appropriate to have a social chapter in the trade agreement. Thank you.
