House Chair, the IFP welcomes this signature by the Southern African Customs Union Member States and Mozambique which was signed on 10 October 2019 in respect of a new Economic Partnership Agreement with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island. This agreement will most certainly provide a great deal of certainty and comfort as regards the continuation of trade between all parties once the UK is no longer a member of the European Union. The implementation of the agreement must be prioritised in order to ensure that its
objectives are met and have the full support of the IFP for the approval of the House in terms of section 231(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of SA. I thank you.
