The last October 16, the European Union and the East African Community (hereinafter “EAC”) has agreed on the finale version of the Economic Partnership Agreement.The Agreement is the result of a ten-year work based on the promotion of the sustainable development and progressive integration between Europe and the African countries involved. The Agreement which will be hopefully signed within six months ensures to EAC duty-free-quota-free access for their products in the European Union. One of the counties that are expected to benefit the most is Kenya, which so far has been under the regime of the Generalised System of Preferences and, as a consequence, a system of tariffs on the exportations. The new Agreement shall improve the developing process this country currently experiences. During the negotiations, the different positions on the export taxation has been analysed under the different prospective: either as a tool for the industrial development or as a distortive element for the trade among countries. EU imports from EAC are mainly regarding tobacco, coffee, cut flower, tea, fish and vegetables products. On the other side, EAC are interested in importing machinery, mechanical appliances and other parts and equipment.
