Examples of SADC in a sentence

• During the last few years there has been a re- launching of regional trade initiatives with some significant achievements, as witnessed by the launching of the COMESA FTA, the signing of the SADC Trade Protocol and the negotiation to re-establish the former EAC Customs Union.

• Yet, even in these cases progress is still very slow; only half of the COMESA countries participate in the FTA; SADC trade protocol is still not in place; and in the EAC case, while countries are negotiating a customs union they still impose surcharges and suspended duties on their bilateral trade.

• For example, it is not clear whether SADC Member States are expected to negotiate as a group minus South Africa, since (as noted above) South Africa already has a legally binding trade agreement with the EU.

• It is thus inconceivable for SADC to develop an independent negotiating mandate on behalf of its Member States that would result in a WTO compatible Free Trade Area with the EU by 2020.

• On the other hand, it is doubtful that SADC or COMESA countries that do not benefit from EBA or the EU-SA FTA will find it in their best interest to leave negotiations to either regional organization whose majority members might not have the same interest in the EPA.
