EUROPEAN UNION-WEST AFRICA TRADE RELATIONS: WITH OR WITHOUT ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (EPA)
Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
The article aims to present the benefits and costs for West African countries of the conclusion of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) and of the implementation of trade liberalisation thereunder, in the light of their trade relations with the European Union Member States. The assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of entering into an EPA will take account of a situation in which the countries in question would not sign an EPA: how their customs status would change and whether it would involve a significant deterioration in the conditions of access to the EU market. Therefore, with regard to EU–West Africa trade relations, finding an answer to the following question is of key importance: with or without EPA? The analysis produced no unambiguous results but they do indicate that the answer to the above question depends on the economic situation (status) of the country concerned. As regards LDCs, the ‘no EPA’ option seems to be the most favourable, whereas non-LDCs would benefit from an EPA.The article employs an analytical and descriptive method. It draws on sources from the national and international literature, secondary legislation of the European Union in the form of regulations, as well as on EUROSTAT statistics.<br/><br/>
