The government formed after the legislative elections of 25th July had its first cabinet on Wednesday under the supervision of Faure Gnassingbé, president of Togo. It discusses on a bill aiming at modifying Togolese customs legislation voted in 1966, in order to adapt it on WAMUS and ECOWAS new directions, so that it facilitates free circulation of people and goods.
