EU Preparing to Sign EU-Kenya Economic, Trade Agreement

The European Council said Dec. 12 it "adopted a decision on the signing" of the EU-Kenya Economic Partnership Agreement, which will provide "duty-free, quota-free EU market access" to all imports from Kenya. It also will lead to the "gradual opening of the Kenyan market to imports from the EU." The agreement will enter into force after the council signs it, and after it's approved by the European Parliament.
