Tanzania wants a study conducted on the impact of the Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union on the East African Community, ahead of the Summit of Heads of State scheduled for next month.
The demand reiterates Tanzania’s position that Kenya and Rwanda should not have signed the EPA last year and, given the inadequate time before the summit, there won’t be much progress on the matter before April 1, when the EU expects the EAC to sign up to the accord.
