The Dominican Chancellor Andrés Navarro and José Del Castillo Saviñón, the Dominican Minister of Industry and Trade reiterated the discriminatory nature of the decision of the Haitian government to prohibit entry by land of 23 Dominican products.
Andrés Navarro stressed that this decision came into force on 1 October https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-15156-haiti-notice-import-ban-by-road-of-certain-products-from-dr.html violated among others, the MoU signed between the two countries in July 2013, recalling that this unilateral decision had not been previously notified to the relevant Dominican authorities, while Article 12 of the Memorandum stipulates that "the parties must notify all rules and legal instruments concerning trade before their implementation and timely to the ministry in charge of industry and commerce."
The two Ministers also reiterated that the decision of the Haitian Government, has been submitted for prior notice, on 29 September, before the Committee of access to the markets of World Trade Organization (WTO), which gave them its support , agreeing that the prohibition by the Haitian government of land transport of Dominican products, represented a commercial limitation between the two countries.
Note that in its efforts, the Dominican Republic has received the support of several countries in the region which include: Panama, Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Colombia.
Chancellor Navarro said on the other hand, he had sent a diplomatic note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Haiti, through the Dominican Embassy, in which the right of the Republic of Haiti to establish controls on imports is recognized, but he challenges the unilateral measure applied for infringement including of the MOU with the Dominican Republic and the fact that this decision is discriminatory de facto, against Dominican products.
