Lao-EC Treaty
The Treaty on Textile Products between Lao PDR and the European Community (1998).
The document is short and does not contain anything of substance. Lao depends more on members of the European Community for financial assistance than interacts with the members as a trading partner. This fact may explain the brevity of the document and the apparent lack of seriousness the EC has for the Lao PDR.
