The bilateral talks between the Dominican Republic and Haiti continued in Juan Dolio yesterday, Thursday 10 July 2014. The central issues were a joint declaration and a commercial agreement to allow goods and services to be imported without discrimination. According to Diario Libre, as well as high-ranking members of both governments, this third meeting in the on-going dialogue included business sector representatives from both countries as well as observers from the European Union, the United Nations Development Program, and Venezuela. Article 3 of the memorandum deals with commercial exchanges and mentions treatment as most favored nations when it comes to duties and tariffs. One key point is that goods that do not pass through the specified customs points of Dajabon/Ouanaminthe, Comendador/Belladere and Jimani/Malpasse and Pedernales/Anse-a-Pitre will be sanctioned.
