abstract = {The European Union is currently negotiating free trade agreements, called Economic
Partnership Agreements (EPAs), with African countries as part of the Cotonou
Agreement between the European Union and African, Caribbean and Pacific countries.
The paper empirically assesses the impact of the EPAs on trade flows and government
revenue for 14 West African countries. The results indicate that the decline in import
duties due to the preferential tariff elimination might be of some cause for concern and
that complementary fiscal and economic policies have to be implemented before or at
the time the EPAs come into force.},
