Local Statements

The Delegation of the European Union to Tanzania and the East African Community (EAC) categorically refutes press reports about possible EU sanctions against the United Republic of Tanzania over Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) between the European Union and the East African Community.


The Delegation of the European Union to Tanzania and the East African Community (EAC) categorically refutes press reports about possible EU sanctions against the United Republic of Tanzania over Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) between the European Union and the East African Community. It should be noted that the EU is awaiting the final collective decision by the EAC member states on the signature of the EPAs; the United Republic of Tanzania inclusive. No sanctions have been envisaged if any of the concerned parties do not sign the EPAs.

In this situation, statements by other than the East African Community, the Government of Tanzania and the Delegation of the European Union to Tanzania and the EAC are purely speculative and misinformed of ongoing communication.

Kutunga hadithi za uwongo umekuwa mtaji siku hizi, jana tulibebeshwa hadithi ya uwongo humu na wote tukachangia. Nadhani ule msemo wa weka akiba ya maneno inabidi uzingatiwe.

Lazima waikane, maana msaada wao ni kama negligible. Yani huu ndo umtishw nyau pangoni?
Miaka 5 trion 1.2 ina maana kila mwaka ni bilion 240. hela tunayokusanya chini ya siku 3. Hiyo threat kama ndivyo, basi wameona sikitu ikabidi waikane. Harafu hua wanahaidi tu lakini pesa yenyewe hawaileti, na kama wakileta nijisehemu tu cha hicho.

Tanzania is a significant beneficiary of EU development cooperation, mainly financed by the European Development Fund (EDF).

The EDF cycle of 2014-2020 amounts to €626 million. It promotes pro-poor and sustainable growth, and focuses on good governance, in particular in public finance and domestic accountability, as well as increasing energy access and security, and sustainable agriculture to improve food and nutrition security and better management of natural resources and ecosystems. It also finances actions to support civil society, business and employment.
