FREE TRADE AND THE CONGO BASIN TREATIES1

South African Journal of Economics, 1959, vol. 27, issue 4, 293-300

Abstract: The Conventional Basin of the Congo is a vast area comprising several countries in Central Africa, all of which follow a commercial policy of equality of economic opportunity, commonly known as the ‘open door’ policy. A review of the Congo Basin Treaties, in which this policy was enunciated, is of particular interest at the present time when, on the one hand, the European Free Trade Area is under discussion and, on the other, several African territories appear to be on the verge of political independence and economic advancement.
