The willingness of the European Union (EU) to expand its trade with Kenya should be taken positively. On-going talks towards an interim Kenya - EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) is a clear demonstration by both parties to consolidate gains from trade over the years.
The EU-Kenya trade relationship is rules-based and can thrive on a bilateral system that is envisaged to open trade liberalisation for both parties within the confines of the proposed sustainable development. This has created new opportunities.
