Costa Rican President Announces he is "Undecided" on CAFTA
May 28, 2005
Earlier this month, we reported that the country of Costa Rica, represented by President Abel Pacheco, was having serious doubts about CAFTA. However, at a press conference yesterday, he announced that he either is undecided on CAFTA and that his opinion will depend largely on the recommendation of a "council of notables" that is being convened to re-examine the treaty and its possible impacts on Costa Rica. Pacheco is still in no rush bring CAFTA to the country's legislative assembly, saying that he doesn't "see what the hurry is" and that with CAFTA, they are "deciding the future of the country."
