Dairy Conflict Still Unresolved Between Honduras and El Salvador

The Honduran Industrial Association (ANDI) has requested the government get involved to solve the dairy conflict with El Salvador.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

García Merino, ANDI director, told La Tribuna that, "we believe the integration process should be fluid, transparent and quick. This issue has come about because the documents needed to ratify the process have still not been signed, leading to delays in the ratification of the Unified Customs system. This system is needed to enable the free movement of people, goods and services".

According to the director, given the scale of the problem, solutions need to be sought at presidential level.
