Abstract

More than half of sub-Saharan Africa's international trade is with the countries of the EC. This paper discusses how the unification of the EC's markets will affect its trade with the countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The author also forecasts trade levels for such individual commodities as crude oil, coffee and tea, tobacco, sugar, fish products, and precious and semiprecious stones, as well as the consequences for tourism and other services. He emphasizes that it is up to African governments to take advantage of the positive aspects and to overcome the negative effects of the EC's move to an internal market. -from Publisher
