The poblems might African countries face if they sign the agreement, Economic Partnership Agreement (EPAOn this issue which is of much concern to Guyana, the President insists that Guyana signing the EPA must broadly be accepted by the country’s citizens.

He told journalists that his position has not changed. “We had extensive discussions and I still feel strongly that we are entering into an Agreement that will undermine some aspects of the regional integration movement.”

The President added that the EPA with the European Union can undermine the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME); noting that, “I am very worried that we are giving up economic sovereignty to the EU.”

The President explained that once the region’s members of the African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group sign the EPA any other agreement that the ACP signs that is related to the EPA will have to be sanctioned by the European Union.

“For example, if CARICOM Heads were to decide on particular trade matters and were to make that decision the day after the EPA is signed, the Agreement, once that impacted on this agreement we could not implement it or we had to consult the EU to get the EU’s approval. So we in many ways would have taken away the sovereignty exercised by the legitimately elected governments of the region.”
Those are the explaination of EPA and the problem might African countries face if they sign the agreement.
