(Togo First) - Togo will benefit from Morocco’s expertise to launch its Social and Economic Council (CES). Last Monday, a work session between a delegation of the CES and the Moroccan Social, Economic, and Environmental Council (CESE) took place in the framework.
The Moroccan delegation was led by Younes Benakki, secretary-general of the CESE and secretary of the African Union of Economic and Social Councils and Similar Institutions (UCESA).
Christian Trimua, the Togolese minister of human rights, who led the work session, ascribed the decision to choose Morocco to the fact that he chairs the UCESA.

Fact is, those rules are the results of an international consensus reached in the 1920s, after World War I. The effective implementation of the current international taxation rules is monitored by the institutions that govern international cooperation worldwide. Let me first remind you that those institutions were set up after the two world wars.
