| description | "Is the SADC Trade Protocol adequate to meet its stated objectives and to address the problems of limited intra-SADC trade?" This thesis will argue that although the protocol has had some impact on intra-regional trade, some provisions contained within it remain a barrier to trade. The thesis will focus on how the SADC protocol on trade can address solve the problems of intra-SADC trade. It will be argued that certain provisions within the Protocol undermine the objectives of the protocol as outlined in Article 2. These provisions include but are not limited to the rules of origin, non-harmonization of external tariffs, derogations to the elimination of barriers in intra-SADC trade provisions found in Article 3, and inadequately tackling non-tariff measures. In examining the protocol, reference will be made to the similar provisions contained in the East African Community (EAC). |
