Tetteh Hormeku, @3rdworldnetwork:
EPAs are not just agreements but tools of economic management. As Africans, we must ask ourselves how we want to run our local economies and how these agreements affect that.

Tetteh Hormeku, @3rdworldnetwork:
The European Union has been talking about how it is negotiating its mandate to get better trade terms, we as Africans also need to discuss how to get favourable terms too.

The Cotonou Agreement, signed in 2000 between the European Union (EU) and the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries provided for the negotiation of EPAs in Africa.

Ms. Jane Nalunga @SeatiniU:
After independence, former colonial masters still wanted to continue to be in-charge of the trade and raw materials in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacifics.

@herbertk4, Programs & Communications Manager:
With the conclusion of the Kenya-EU EPA, we need to revisit the issues around EPAs; the basics and also how these EPAs have evolved.

"We need to diversify our markets as #African Countries instead of just concetrating on one single Market. In this case Kenya is looking at the #EU market instead of the 1.2 Billion Market for #African Countries"- Mr. Rangarirai Machemedze #StopKenyaEUEPA #StopEPAs
It is unfair for the #EU to be negotiating separate Free Trade Agreements with individual countries within a Regional Economic Community #StopKenyaEUEPA
#StopEPAs @rosaluxstiftung @jumuiya @SeatiniU @herbertk4 @mtic_uganda
The #AU should boldly pursue its agenda of promoting structural transformation through focusing on regional integration and the #AfCFTA, beginning from the #RECs as building blocks, as envisioned in the Lagos Plan of Action #StopKenyaEUEPA #StopEPAs @jumuiya @rosaluxstiftung
The #EAC Partner States should reconsider and follow up on the African Union’s proposal to the #EU entitled “Common and Enhanced Trade Preference System for #LDCs and Low-Income Countries”. #StopKenyaEUEPA
#StopEPAs @rosaluxstiftung @amwaafrika @mtic_uganda @SeatiniU
Ms. Jane Nalunga notes that there is an urgent need to rethink the EPAs in order to make them address Africa’s quest for structural transformation and longstanding challenges and aspirations for structural transformation. #StopKenyaEUEPA #StopEPAs @SeatiniU @mtic_uganda

"Under the EAC-EU #EPA, the #EAC was to liberalize 82.6% of her imports from the #EU over a 25-year transition period by initially liberalizing 65.4% on entry into force of the agreement"- Ms. Jane Nalunga #StopKenyaEUEPA #StopEPAs @mtic_uganda @rosaluxstiftung @pwatchug
"In a bid to strengthen the regional integration agenda, the then five EAC Partner States (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda) in 2007 decided to reconfigure and negotiate the #EPA as a bloc" - Ms. Jane Nalunga . #StopKenyaEUEPA #StopEPAs @mtic_uganda @jumuiya
