The European Union's ambassador to Kenya, Stafano Dejak, has
said the bloc will find a way of agreeing the terms of trade with Kenya
if other East African nations fail to sign the Economic Partnership
Agreements (EPAs) deal by January.
The deadline for signing by East African Community (EAC) countries was initially set for October 1 but was moved to January.
Only
Kenya and Rwanda have signed the EPAs deal that grants the region some
privileges to export horticultural products to the European Union
without customs charges.
But under a deal signed in 2001 and renewed in 2011, all EAC countries have to sign to enjoy the benefits.
