The economic partnership Agreements (EPAs ) are WTO compatible trading arrangements under negotiation between the EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of countries. The EPAs will replace existing trade arrangements between the EU and ACP that are covered by a WTO waiver due to expire at the end of 2007. Under EPAs, ACP countries will be expected to remove tariffs on "substancially all" imports from the EU. The report questions whether these agreements, based on the idea of reciprocal market access, will bring about positive changes for women's lives in Southern Africa.
