approval as an East African Standard in 2008.
The Sub-Committee noted that the Council of Ministers had directed the
EASC to harmonize the standard on used vehicles including the age limit
for used motor vehicles imported into the Community in April 2007. In
2008, the EASC adopted a draft standard and recommended it for approval
without inclusion of the age limit. The Council deferred the declaration of
the draft standards and reiterated that the standard should be harmonized
to include the age limit as earlier directed. The 13th EASC meeting had
made a decision for a committee of experts to review this issue in 2009.
The EAC Secretariat convened a meeting of a committee of experts in
2
November 2009. The Subcommittee received and adopted the report of the
experts which is hereto attached as Annex III.
The Sub-committee recommends to EASCas follows:
1. A tentative age limit of 10 years from the date of first
registration be recommended to the Sectoral Council on Trade,Investment and Finance.
2. To request EACSecretariat to convene a regional workshop tofurther discuss the relationship between the age limit,environmental pollution, safety, fuel consumption emciency,social well-being, economic activities, technological andindustrial developments. The workshop should bring togetherkey stakeholders including those from the following:Bureaus ofStandards, Revenue Authorities, Ministries responsible fortransport, Ministries responsible for finance, environmentalmanagement authorities and ministries responsible forindustry.

The Subcommittee noted the draft EAS 481, had been referred by EASC to
Sub Committee for review to address among other things the following
areas:
• Scope and definition of plastic carrier bags to include flat bags
• Traceability especially labeling and marking
The subcommittee observed that there are divergent policies and laws
being implemented in the Partner States, there are other options for the
management control of plastic carrier bags including waste management
and adoption of biodegradable plastics.
The Subcommittee recommends to the EASCas follows:
1. The harmonization of DEAS 481, Plastic carrier bags -
Specification, be halted.
2. The EASC urge Partner States to explore opportunities formanagement of plastics waste, especially that arising from theuse of carrier bags.
3. The EASC promotes the development of a standard forbiodegradable plastics as a way to promote this technology as apartial solution to the current problem

2.3 Adoption of regional and international standards
The Sub Committee noted that there was a need to define a mechanism
through which EAC may adopt international standards such as
International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and other regional standards such as
those of the European Union (EU) and Southern Africa Development
Community (SADC).
The Sub Committee was informed that ISO recognised membership of
Africa Regional Standardisation Organisation (ARSO) as a regional
standardisation organisation and had not defined mechanism for EAC or
other sub-regional standardisation bodies.
The Sub Committee agreed that the mechanisms through which EAC may
adopt international standards should be defined within EAC procedures for
the development of standards.
The Sub committee directs the task force handling the procedures for the
development of EAS to ensure that appropriate mechanisms for adopting
international and/or regional standards as EAS, are incorporated into
procedures.
2.4 East African Standards template and layout
The Sub Committee noted that the extent of adoption and use of the
standards template varied between Partner States. The Sub-Committee
further noted that the forum for training of standards developers on the
use of the template, identified under the Germany Institution for Metrology
(PTB) support and recommended during the 17th meeting of the Sub-
Committee, had not been held.

secretariat to follow up with PTB and ensure that a regional
training workshop on the use of the standards template is held.
2.5 Implementation of the PTB project
The Sub-Committee noted that Web editors were trained under the PTB
project; however, several other activities detailed in the project
implementation matrix (Annex IV)had not been done.

2.6 Operationalization of EACSQMTAct, 2006
The Sub-Committee had noted during the 17th meeting that the pace of
operationalization of the SQMTActivities by the EAC Secretariat has been
4
extremely slow and thus affected custody of the authoritative text of the
harmonized standards; the declaration of EAS by gazette notice; the
publishing of the catalogue of the EAS; and the supplying Partner States
with the authenticated text.
The EAC Secretariat reported that 1080 EAS had been gazetted in 2009
and that secretariat was still undertaking budgetary processes with a view
to increase resources to support the role of the secretariat in
standardisation activities.
The EAC Secretariat also informed the Sub-Committee that it had been
observed that Partner States still had variations on the adoption and
implementation of East African Standards.
The Sub-Committee commended the Secretariat for gazetting the standards
and for the efforts put in place to improve awareness on the SQMTAct.
Recommendations:
1. The Sub-Committee recommends to the EASC to urge the EAC
Secretariat and Partner States to ensure that adequate
awareness on harmonised standards is created among the
stakeholders in order to enhance the implementation of the
standards as provided for in the SQMTAct.
2. The Sub-Committee also recommends to the EASC to urge the
Secretariat to monitor and give regular reports on status of
implementation of the harmonised EAS.

The Sub-Committee noted that there are other EAC Organs that develop
standards. The following areas of standardisation were specifically noted:
SPS standards, Fish and fishery products and East African Seeds
committee.
The Sub-Committee also noted that SQMTAct had provisions that could be
utilised to aid the harmonisation of these activities.
It was also noted that at international level there were linkages amongst
international standards setting organisation such as the IPPC, OlE and
Codex Alimentarius Commission.

Sectoral Council on Trade, Finance and Industry (SCTFI) to define a
mechanism through which EAC organs that develop standards can
collaborate to enhance coherence in the work of standards harmonisation.
2.9 Consideration of harmonized standards of interest to EAC,
COMESAand SADC
The Sub-Committee was informed that there were ongoing discussion for

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EAST AFRICAN STANDARDS TECHNICAL
SUBCOMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR MAY 2009 MAY 2010
1. INTRODUCTION
During the period May 2009 to May 2010, a number of technical committee meetings were
held under the supervision of the East African Standards Technical Sub Committee. The
committee also held its annual meeting on 10th to 12th May, 2010. This report is summarises
the standards that have been concluded and recommendation of the Sub-Committee
2 STANDARDS HARMONISATION
The Sub Committee recommends to the EASC to approve 22 draft standards as East
African Standards (Annex I).
3 RECOMENDATIONS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARDS
HARMONISATION PROGRAMME
3.1 Considerations on Council Directive on the Harmonisation of the age limits of used vehicles imported into the Community for incorporation
into DEAS 500:2008, Road vehicles Inspection Code of practice
which the committee had recommended for approval as an East African Standard in 2008.
The Sub-Committee noted that the Council of Ministers had directed the EASC to harmonize the standard on used vehicles including the age limit for used motor vehicles imported into the Community in April 2007. In 2008, the EASC adopted a draft standard and recommended it for approval without inclusion of the age limit. The Council deferred the declaration of the draft standards and reiterated that the standard should be harmonized to include the age limit as earlier directed. The 13th EASC meeting had made a decision for a committee of experts to review this issue in 2009. The EAC Secretariat convened a meeting of a committee of experts in November 2009. The Subcommittee received and adopted the report of the experts.
Annex VIII

The Sub-committee recommends to EASC as follows:
1. A tentative age limit of 10 years from the date of first registration be recommended to the Sectoral Council on Trade,
Investment and Finance.
2. To request EAC Secretariat to convene a regional workshop to further discuss the relationship between the age limit, environmental pollution, safety, fuel consumption efficiency, social well-being, economic activities, technological and industrial developments. The workshop should bring together key stakeholders including those from the following: Bureaus of Standards, Revenue Authorities, Ministries responsible for transport, Ministries responsible for finance, environmental management authorities and ministries responsible for industry. The private sector shall be represented by dealers in new and used vehicles, transporters, etc. The workshop should be convened by August 2010.
3. To request the EAC Secretariat to commission a study on the long-term impact of trade in used motor vehicles in the Community including an aspect of age limits.
4. To urge Partner States to harmonize the testing and inspection regimes and technical regulations on road vehicles.
3.2 Progress on implementation EAS 481:2008, Plastic carrier bags taking into account the Council directive
The Subcommittee noted the draft EAS 481, had been referred by EASC to Sub Committee for review to address among other things the following areas:
Scope and definition of plastic carrier bags to include flat bags
Traceability especially labeling and marking
The subcommittee observed that there are divergent policies and laws being
implemented in the Partner States, there are other options for the management control of plastic carrier bags including waste management and adoption of biodegradable plastics.
The Subcommittee recommends to the EASC as follows:
1. The harmonization of DEAS 481, Plastic carrier bags —
Specification, be halted.
2. The EASC urge Partner States to explore opportunities for management of plastics waste, especially that arising from the use of carrier bags.
3. The EASC promotes the development of a standard for biodegradable plastics as a way to promote this technology as a partial solution to the current problem
3.3 East African Standards template and layout
The Sub Committee noted that the extent of adoption and use of the standards template varied between Partner States. The Sub-Committee further noted that the forum for training of standards developers on the use of the template, identified under the Germany Institution for Metrology (PTB)

Recommendation
The Sub-Committee recommends that EASC to urge the Secretariat to follow up with PTB on the implementation of activities detailed in the PTB Project matrix (Annex IV) earlier adopted.
3.5 Operationalization of EAC SQMT Act, 2006
The Sub-Committee had noted during the 17th meeting that the pace of operationalization of the SQMT Activities by the EAC Secretariat has been extremely slow and thus affected custody of the authoritative text of the harmonized standards; the declaration of EAS by gazette notice; the publishing of the catalogue of the EAS; and the supplying Partner States with the authenticated text.
The EAC Secretariat reported that 1080 EAS had been gazetted in 2009 and that secretariat was still undertaking budgetary processes with a view to increase resources to support the role of the secretariat in standardisation activities.
The EAC Secretariat also informed the Sub-Committee that it had been observed that Partner States still had variations on the adoption and
implementation of East African Standards.
The Sub-Committee commended the Secretariat for gazetting the standards and for the efforts put in place to improve awareness on the SQMT Act.

two Partner states namely Kenya and Tanzania participated. The other
members were not officially invited by the host country. Among the issues that
were discussed was that of exports from developing countries having to comply
with multiplicity of international requirements. It was resolved that CIML
members bring this to the attention of their national WTO-TBTenquiry points.
Currently OIML is carrying out country needs assessment and partner states
were urged to seize this opportunity and invite the OIMLpersonnel to do it for
them. A water manometer was donated to the Weights and Measures Agency

programme of work for the meeting as a tool to guide discussion of
the various agenda items that had already been circulated to
members;
b) East African Community Secretariat had carried out consultations
in all 5 Partner States on the draft regulations concerning
implementation of compulsory standards and certification. A report
on outcome of the consultations is expected to be presented to the
East African Standards Committee for consideration. He called
upon Partner States who mayl;ve an~ concerns on th~
dr r
regulations to take this opportunity to raise such concerns for the
purpose of discussion with a view to having them taken into
consideration.
c) The Delegation from Kenya had informed him that Mr. Jacob Kibe,
a long serving member of the Quality Assurance Sub-Committee,
from Kenya Bureau of Standards had passed away in March 2010
and the Sub-Committee was requested to observe a minute of
silence in his remembrance.

The Agenda and Programme of work were adopted and are here by
attached as ANNEXI (a) & (b).
2.0 CONSIDERATION OF MATTERS ARISING FROM THE 12TH
MEETING OF THE EASC TECHNICAL SUBCOMMITTEE ON
QUALITYASSURANCE
2.1 Survey Tool for the assessment of the status of conformity
assessment activities within the EAC
The meeting noted that the tool in the form of a questionnaire was
developed for use by Partner States to assist in assessment of the value
of Conformity Assessment Services in the market place.
The SC tasked WG 2 to revisit the survey tool and have it refined
in line with the one used by the Standards Technical Sub-
Committee; then circulate it to all Partner States for deployment.
2.2 Accreditation and conformity assessment awareness activities
It was reported that the 2nd meeting on accreditation for the African
Region took place in April 2010 in Cairo. The main objective of the
meeting was to progress the establishment of an African Regional
Accreditation Cooperation (AFRAC).

GROUPS
The meeting received and considered the reports of the two Working
Groups as follows:
3.1 Report of the Working Group 1
Working Group 1 (WG 1) of the Quality Assurance Sub-Committee is
tasked with responsibility of handling matters related to certification.
The SC received the report of WG 1 for the period June 2009 to April
2010 and made the following decisions and recommendations:
3.1.1 Flow of information between the SC, WGs and other
stakeholders
The SC noted that there was inadequate flow of information between the
Working Groups and the Sub-Committee on one hand and between the
Sub-Committee and other stakeholders especially PTB on the other
hand. This was affecting the scheduling and execution of activities.
To address this challenge the meeting agreed to adopt the following
procedure to enable faster flow of information and communication within
the SC and between the SC and PTB; EAC Secretariat and Partner
States:
• The Secretary to the WGshall be responsible for sending the
reports to the Secretary and the Chairman of the SC;
• The Secretary of the SC shall be responsible for sending the
reports of the Working Groups to PTB; EAC and EAC Partner
States;
• Reports shall be circulated to all concerned parties within two
weeks from the end of the meeting.
3.1.2 Development of Procedures for the Sub-Committee
It was noted that the Sub-Committee and the WGs needed to develop
procedures to guide their operations and assist in the smooth
implementation of the Programmes. As a way forward on this matter; themeeting agreed as follows:
4
/
• Uganda to compile all procedural issues highlighted in
previous discussions related to this matter and circulate these
to Partner States. These will form the basis for future
discussions;
• The WGs shall decide their own mechanisms for operations in
line with the defined Terms of Reference.
3.1.3 Peer Assessments
When considering Peer Assessment schemes along with their attendant
procedures, the SC took note of the progress and:
a) directed as follows:
• WG 1 pilot the implementation of the draft procedures during
the assessment of Kenya Bureau of Standards scheduled for
end of May 2010;
• After the peer assessment of KEBS; WG 1 will finalise the
procedures with a view to having them ready for issuance as
EACprocedures;
b) Recommended that EASCrequest PTB to support the extension of
Peer assessments/ pre-assessments to Rwanda and Burundi in
November/December 2010 respectively;
3.1.4 Design of an EACproduct certification mark
The SC took note of the progress on the development of the mark and
urged WG 1 to finalise the mark and present it formally to the SC for
onward transmission to the EASC.The SC also recommended as follows:
a) The EASC adopts the proposed amendment to SQMT Act to
establish the mark within the Community
b) EASC requests the Council to amend the SQMTAct to provide
for establishment of an EACProduct Certification Mark;
c) The EASC requests PTB to support the development of rules
that will govern use of EACproduct certification mark;
5
3.2 Report of Working Group 2 (WG2)
Working Group 2 (WG 2) of the Quality Assurance Sub-Committee is
tasked with the responsibility of handling matters related to Inspection.
The SC received the report of WG 2 for the period June 2009 to April
2010. In general the WG 2 activities focused on the following:

requirements of ISO/IEC 17020

ISO/IEC 17020 through the Training of Trainers

surveillance
The meeting agreed to continue with the activities inline with the
approved work plans.
Recommendations
EASC requests the Sectoral Council on Trade and Investment toadopt a PVoCStrategy as one of the avenues for ridding the regionof substandard goods.
4.0 CONSIDERATION OF PROCEDURES FOR IMPORT INSPECTION
AND MARKET SURVEILLANCE
4.1 The SC meeting considered the procedures for market
surveillance and import inspection. The SC made the
following recommendation:
a) The EASC Committee adopts the as harmonised proceduresfor use in Partner States during Market Surveillance andImport Inspection;
b) The Committee forwards the procedures to EAC Secretariatfor editing, final publication and distribution as CommunityHarmonised Procedures;
c) The Committee requests the Council to direct Partner Statesto:

6
5.0 PROPOSED NEWWORKAREAS AND FUNDINGMECHANISMS
The SC considered the various activities that need to be undertaken in
preparation of the EAC Common Market. These are hereby attached as
Annex IV.
6.0 CONSIDERATION OF THE STATUS OF CROSS-BORDER TRADE
ISSUES
The SC noted that there has been improvement on matters related to
handling of products across borders within the Community by the NSBs.
However, non-recognition of quality marks, multiple testing, inspection
etc by other regulatory agencies continue to persist in the region.
Included among these are issues related to charges levied on good
originating from within the EAC.
Recommendation
a) EASC request the Council to direct the Secretariat to convene
a meeting of Experts in problematic sectors such as food to
develop harmonized requirements and approaches towards a
uniform conformity assessment regimes and approvals
b) EASC request the Council to urge Tanzania to scrap the 0.2%
of C&F levied on all imports from other Partner States;
7.0 CONSIDERATION OF THE DRAFT REGULATIONS
The SC considered and agreed with all the comments that EAC
Secretariat had received during the national consultations in the 5
Partner States on the regulations for Market Surveillance and Product
Certification.
The SC made additional comments herein Annexed as Annex V.
Recommendations
EASC requests the EAC Secretariat that before finalization of the
draft regulations, along with the attendant procedures; a meeting
of experts be convened with a view of ensuring harmonization and
consistency between the regulations and procedures.
8.0 CONSIDERATION OF THE MECHANISMS FOR ADOPTION AND
IMPLEMENTATIONOF STANDARDS
On this matter, the SC noted that a number of East African Standards
have been issued and these need to be implemented at the national level.
7
However the mode of declaration and implementation of compulsory
standards is still a challenge within Partner States.
The SC therefore recommended as follows:
The EASC requests PTB to field an expert and to facilitate aregional workshop on adoption and implementation of CompulsoryStandards to be conducted by the EAC.
9.0 EAC MARK AND MARKS OF NATIONAL STANDARDS BODIES
The meeting discussed the various marks operating in Partner States
especially their equivalency in relation with Section 24 (2) of the EAC
SQMT Act; more so the question of compulsory product marks as
compared to voluntary marks as in the case of Kenya.
The meeting agreed that the forthcoming peer assessment of KEBS
and those already undertaken be used to address this issue.

ANNEX III
Draft text for an amendment of the EAC SQMT Act
Preamble
Taking into consideration the discussions and agreements of this WG 1 meeting, and
the general structure of the EAC SQMT Act, the following draft text for an amendment to
the EAC SQMT Act is presented for consideration at the next WG 1 meeting.
xx 1) The Council may, on recommendation of the Committee, declare a mark or marks
to distinguish products that conform to an East African Standard from products that do
not so conform, to be an EAC Mark in respect of those products, and may in like
manner abolish or amend such a mark.
2) The legal ownership of the EAC Mark is vested in the EAC Secretariat, who may
authorise certification bodies domiciled in the EAC to license manufacturers or
producers allowing them to utilise the EAC Mark on their products to signify the fact that
these products meet the requirements of the relevant East African Standard.
3) The EAC Mark shall -
a) not be identical to any trademark registered in respect of any product in accordance
with trademark laws of the Partner States,
b) not be identical to any of the registered marks of the Partner States as provided for in
section 24(1), and
c) not so nearly resemble the marks mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) to be likely to
be mistaken for them.
4) After publication of an EAC Mark, no person shall apply that mark in any way except
under a license issued by a certification body authorized by the EAC Secretariat and,
unless the product complies with, or has been manufactured in accordance with, the
relevant East African Standard.
5) The licensee shall pay the authorized certification body a license fee that takes into
account application fees, auditing fees, testing fees, surveillance fees and re-
certification fees as determined from time to time, but no less than once every three
years, by the Committee.
6) The Council on recommendation of the Committee shall prescribe by Regulation the
a) methodology by which the EAC Secretariat will authorise certification bodies,
including but not limited to peer assessments, and compliance with the requirements of
ISO/IEC Guide 65 or its latest revision,
b) conditions for granting of such a license by the authorised certification bodies,
including auditing requirements of the production facilities, initial and follow-up testing
requirements of the products, surveillance mechanisms and frequencies, the period and
conditions under which the license remains valid, and
15
c) other such conditions as the Council may deem necessary.
7) The authorised certification body may license the manufacturer or producer to apply
the EAC Mark in conjunction with its own certification marks provided that -
a) the relevant standards and the certification methodologies are in essence the same,
and
b) that the relevant marks are of similar size as applied to the product.
8) The EAC Mark, if the East African Standard for which it is licensed is equal to an East
African Compulsory Standard as contemplated in section 19, confers on the product so
marked the presumption of conformity to the East African Compulsory Standard, a
presumption which shall be recognized by the regulatory authorities as contemplated in
section 20 unless proven otherwise.

STUDY FINDINGS
TRADE STATUS IN EAC
EAC Trade with the Rest of the World
� EAC trade with world increased by 23.7 % to US$ 32,406 million in 2008 . Comp. 26.8 % in 2007. Reflects 26.2 % because of xport price increase. EAC imports from the EAC region a grew by 22.7 % from US$ 18,403 million to US$ 22,574 million .Deficit on BoP widened from US$ 10,609.8 million in 2007 to US$ 12,741 million in 2008. Imports account for about 70% total EAC trade during 2008.
� The share of TI-EAC trade to total trade increased from 7.5 % in 2007 to 8.4 % in 2008. The improve in total intra-EAC as a share of total trade emanates from the diversification of trade towards regional trading blocs.
5/17/2010
7
Imports to EAC� Imports to EAC increased from US$ 18,403 million in 2007 to
US$ 22,754 million in 2008.. Oil imports account for between 20 and 25 percent of total EAC imports. The proportion of total intra-EAC imports to total EAC imports increased from 4.5 percent in 2007 to 5.2 percent in 2008.
Exports from EAC
� In 2008 EXP. Up by 26.2% from US$ 7,793.5 million in 2007 to US$ 9,832.5 million. Exports to COMESA 19.4 %, EU 23% an UP from 17% and17.9% respectively. Exports to USA down from 4.7 % to 3.8% in 2008. Could be reduced demand – global crisis. Exports SADC declined from 6.8% to 3.6% in 2008.
Intra EAC Trade by selected products:
� The total trade up by 72% from 2006 to 2008. 2006 to 2007 up by 35% . 2007 to 2008 up by 27%. Note trade increased most 2006 to 2007. Because actions /2007 increased Trade. ….No single factor- CU/ EASC action help reduce restrictions, Improved data collection etc.
� At individual product groups, up most tea- but because of auction in Mombasa.
� General trade of the products selected – Growth x2 to x3 in 2008 compared to 2006.
� Growth highest with products which were raw materials and then later processed. E.G in soya bean UP 192 (2006 and 2008) while soya oil - Processed UP 494%
5/17/2010
8
� Soya oil a lower 2006 - overtook beans in 2007 and 2008 greater margins.
� Products - known intern producers /quality like cocoa powder, toilet paper, extract of coffee/ tea, electrical transformers , margarine tended to post staple sales . NO sharp increases while
� local products Quality-SHARP INCREASE 2006-2008 e.g fresh vegetables, cement. Why? Intervention in Quality-E.g harmon procedures and standards for fresh fruits and vegetables; Mutual recognition of marks in cement etc.
Usefulness of the EASC SQMT
Architecture;
� Business Ass. Say Very beneficial. The EAS, mutual recognition helped
� It created a dialogue mechanism . NTB’s are resolved. Cases sighted include the milk case between Uganda/ Kenya; Mineral water on method of testing between Uganda/ Rwanda and the Tanzania/ Uganda case on brown sugar .
� Concern :1080 EAS few- 5000 Expected. The standards officials- POSSIBLE BUT resource constraint.
� Some EAS developed but are not used in facilitating CBT. E.g. Steel products in Uganda. UNBS has no capacity to test. UMA-PPP arrangement with UNBS could support.
5/17/2010
9
� NBS Inspectors confirmed this as very useful. Mutual recognition has reduced time. Eg KEBS reported Mukwano ( oil)case- Time reduced from 2 weeks to instant clearance
� The concern of how best to manage products without marks.
� Pl’s – Useful. Eg the Harmonisation of testing methods of fruits and vegetables. The result has been increase in the trade of fruits among the partner States. See statistics.
� CA and BP-Very Useful. Compared to the period prior to the EAC Customs Union the customer care relationship has progressively improved with all quality inspectors at the border.
� Concern: Though improvement reported TFDA at border in Mutukula, sometimes delays of approval to export is so long. Case is for SAMONA (petroleum jelly for smearing) MORE 8 months of application no reply from TFDA.
5/17/2010

Stakeholder Consultation
� Aim; To seek the views of partners on the impact of dev. of the EAC – SQMT infrastructure on CBT- Q3 indicator.
� How EASC could be improved to achieve the a favorable impact on CBT FOR products & SERVICES.
� Target : - Business Associations , CB business persons, Clearing agents, National Border Inspectors t NBS, Plant/ Animal, Food &Drug . Also EAC Secretariat EASC-PMC.
� Main issues Investigated ; Awareness of the EASC activities, legal and administrative framework the delivers the EASC –SQMT architecture ; Impression of Usefulness QI ,Recommendations for improvements.
Awareness of the EASC and related
activities
� Busin .Asso, NBS , PMC, EAC were aware. EXPECTED.
� Busin. Persons / clearing agents at borders, not directly aware of EASC but, recollected recent awareness workshops.
� Inspectors of standards : aware of EASC in Arusha .These group surprisingly expressed - do not know details of the operations and detailed activities of the EASC.
� Inspectors of Plant and Animal, Drugs / Food; 75% not aware of EASC activities but recollect recent workshops. Eg 50% P.I not aware MAIZE EAS use guidelines from capitals. 25% PI On fruits and vegetables -agreed on having harmonized the methods relating to inspections at the region. 50%- F&D Inspectors workshops did not concern them.
5/17/2010
11
Legal and administrative framework:
� EASC is operating through DCT- SCTIIF- CM . While lots of Quality Issues in PD( Agric / Tourism). Challenge in role to monitor.
� SQMT Act. Not INCLUSIVE- TFDA though on Board-Yet to be felt by Business community. QI might be barrier instead.
� EASC meeting once a year- limits what can be done and decided by the committee. (KAM, UMA, CTI) and EABC reported that EASC need to do more in harmonizing standards. 1080 EAS – 5000 expected.
� Framework for border interaction nonexistent. All willing to work together. Supported One border post system.
� PI. reported that no legal obligation to follow EAS set up under EASC. They follow their own guide issues from capitals.
� ALL Clearing Agents and Cross border B.P reported no framework for collaboration with inspectors on the EASC SQMT related activities. Managed through circulars. They expressed the willingness to have periodic discussions to improve the already better working relationship.
5/17/2010
12
CONCLUSIONS
� The EASC QI activities remain extremely useful for both the Public and Private Sector. Facilitated and increased trade while at the same time it has eased work of the SQMT managers.
� The demand for more and faster action is the result success of the EASC QI program but not able to sustain the expectation of the beneficiaries. This is healthy but requires the EASC to create a higher bar of success.
� Awareness of EASC is limited to the implementers at regional and national level but critically lacking at the border posts which are the “front desk” implementation points for cross border business.
5/17/2010
13
� The legal and administrative set up to manage EAC QI is has been effective FOR KICK STARTING but Productive Sector- Services expanded. EASC constrained to effectively repond to expectations of law and society.
� The interaction EASC enjoys at the regional level is lacking at the borders “front desk “ CBT.
RECOMMENDATIONS
5/17/2010
14
� Adopt an all inclusive approach for EASC through either administrative measures or amend the SQMT ACT. So that ratiotionalisation and coordination of quality infrastructure act to serve economic rather than technical scientific needs.
� EASC reposition itself to take on the full mandate provide to it through the SQMT Act as the coordinator of all standards, metrology and conformity assessment for not only physical goods but also services. The standards unit should be repositioned to play a cross cutting role into the Productive Sector Department in EAC Secretariat.
� EASC should seek resources to ensure more standards are harmonized so as to build on the gains so far made in facilitate regional trade.
� Option like more manpower at the EAC Secretariat; reprioritizing work; meeting of EASC meeting at least twice a year or better still on a quarterly basis may put more pressure on the sub-committees to make more contribution to the process. Further resources be sourced for strengthening the capacity for Rwanda and Burundi Quality infrastructure.
5/17/2010
15
� Initiate creation of the EAC Standard Mark, but this should be carefully done to ensure the consumers are made to be aware AND MARKETING COSTS MANAGED.
� EASC QI charges be consistent with the expectations under WTO where charges should be for cost recovery of service (excluding fixed costs). To this end charges which are advolerum ie % in nature are discouraged while simple specific charges are encouraged.
� Massively increase sensitization. A clear communication strategy may have to be developed to support this process.
� EASC should consider exposing BI its activities to ensure they fully represent them at the border posts. Administrative procedures be put in-place to enable sharing of information, interaction, offices and equipment at border posts to reduce referring most tastings to the capitals.
� Consider collaborating with EABC in supporting the process of the QI to be more responsive to the needs of the private sector. Such collaboration could initiate a special program to monitor the removal of NTB which are standards related. EABC could also support the annual evaluation of the Indicator 3 under the PMC.
