04/02/2005 (Agence Europe) - At the “Dakar agricultural” international forum in Dakar on Friday, President Chirac told six African heads of state that the common agricultural policy (CAP) “is not the enemy of developing countries' agriculture”. “Accusations of trade dumping and closing markets are often ill-founded and always malicious when they come from big international producers”, he said, as reported by AFP. Mr Chirac said that the EU was “the developing countries' biggest customer”, absorbing 85% of African agricultural exports and 50% of those from Latin America. “In total, the EU imports more from the developing countries that the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan put together”, he stressed.
