Kenyan exports to keep duty-free access to EU market

NAIROBI: Kenya will keep duty-free access to European Union markets for its products, the Kenyan trade minister said on Thursday, reassuring exporters who feared a foundering deal between the EU and the East African Community could lead to tariffs.

"Come next week Kenyan exports will still have access to the EU market without paying any duties as it was before," Adan Mohamed, the Kenyan minister for trade and industrialisation, told Reuters.
