Currently, there is the negotiation for Economic Partnership Agreement between European Union and East African Community.

Research have been done specifically in the three East African Countries namely Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania and the findings do feature explicitly in this work. In a nutshell, a number of issues have been analysed and recommendations have been given in order to accomplish the said quest.Indeed the work is a reflection of what is the experience of protecting GIs in the EU in comparison with the general understanding of GIs in the EAC member states.
