PRODUCTS from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) trade bloc still find it difficult to penetrate the EU market despite an existing trade arrangement with African, Carribean and Pacific (ACP) nations, a Comesa official said this week. Erastus Mwencha, Comesa secretary general, urged Comesa members at a meeting of the ACP-EU Contonou Agreement ahead of the official launch of the Comesa Free Trade Area (FTA) next week to avail themselves of financial resources for the development of their countries. – AFP
