ECOWAS Trade Liberalisation Scheme – ETLS
The Economic Community of West African States(ECOWAS) created the ETLS in a bid to strengthen trade among its member states. The ETLS was created in 1976 at the summit of Heads Of States in Lome – Togo.
Nigeria signed the ETLS protocol on the 29th of May 1979 and ratified this protocol on the 12th of September 1979.
The ETLS was originally created for agricultural products, handicrafts, and crude products, however, in the year 1990, the scheme was opened up to include industrial products.
