The objective of ECOWAS was to form a customs union and eventual common market among member countries. This meant reducing trade barriers among member countries to promote economic integration and cooperation. While a common market involves eliminating trade barriers for nonmember countries, this was not the original objective of ECOWAS. Likewise, forming a political union was not a stated objective.
