Regional countries should not rush to seal the EAC-EU trade deals, known best as the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), a cabinet minister has said.Monique Mukaruliza, the Minister for East African Community (EAC) Affairs, said EU needs to first accommodate the demands from the African bloc before the agreements are signed.“We need to first examine appropriately all the details concerning the agreements, and avoid rushing into agreeing a deal that does not benefit us,” the minister told The New Times.
