Abstract/ Overview
Kenya and other African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries have enjoyed non-reciprocal preferential trade arrangements with the European Union (EU) since the 1970s under the successive Lomé Conventions.For ACP countries that are not categorized as least developed (Kenya included), the reciprocal preferential trade arrangement with the EU will come to an end at the beginning of 2008.It will be replaced by a reciprocal arrangement in the form of Economic Patnership Agreements (EPAs) between the EU and individual or groupings of ACP countries that are compatible with World Trade Organization (WTO)
