EU–Comoros Environment-Linked Trade: The EU and four Eastern and Southern Africa states (including Comoros) concluded an enhanced Economic Partnership Agreement, framed around predictable rules and sustainable development, with services and digitalisation highlighted. Port Pollution Oversight: The U.S. Coast Guard’s 2025 port state control report shows environmental-related detentions easing slightly (77 vs 82 in 2024) while compliance exams rose, with Comoros among flag administrations removed from a targeted list. Local Governance & Capacity Building: WCO support helped Customs officials from Comoros and others build “training of trainers” capacity on rules of origin, aiming to make preferential trade agreements work more cleanly and inclusively.
