The Kenyan sugar sector has been given a one year extension of the existing safeguard subject to review and renewal for another one year. The decision was made Thursday 26 March 2015 yesterday by the COMESA Council of Ministers during its two day meeting in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia Dr. Debretsion GebreMichael has urged COMESA countries to allocate substantial funds to infrastructure development and renewal, so that the whole region can be inter-linked and equitably developed.
Over 80 percent of Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) reported through the online system developed within the tripartite COMESA-East African Community and South African Development Community has been resolved, COMESA said in a statement.
