Notes:

The EU–ACP trade negotiations are running out of time and all the available options are unpalatable or difficult. Key points:
  • EPAs will be very detailed agreements: discussion of these details has barely begun.
  • Namibia could find itself paying in taxes to the EU four times as much each year as it receives from EuropeAid.
  • Solutions can be found: but only if they are sought.
