ABU DHABI: Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, affirmed that the

Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the Comprehensive Economic
Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the UAE and the Republic of Serbia marks the first agreement
under the UAE's comprehensive economic partnership programme with a country that is not a member

of the World Trade Organization.

This agreement features a tariff reduction and elimination of up to 96 percent across customs tariff lines,
compared to some countries with which agreements have been signed, all of which are WTO members.
