Tundu Lissu: Government of Tanzania should come clean on deterioration in relations with EU

GOVERNMENT OF TANZANIA SHOULD COME CLEAN ON DETERIORATION IN RELATIONS WITH EU

Hon. Tundu AM Lissu, MP

Today I propose to discuss the issue of the EU Ambassador to Tanzania, Roeland van der Geer, being recalled to the EU Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, 'for consultations.'

I think it's a very serious matter indeed, and it merits public debate and an official clarification from our country's Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Relations.

When a diplomat is 'recalled for consultations' with his or her home state, it's usually a sign of dramatic deterioration in diplomatic relations between the sending state, in this case the EU, and the receiving state, in this case Tanzania.

In diplomatic practice, it's often a step taken before the official break up of diplomatic relations between the sending state and the receiving state.

As an economic, political and diplomatic block, the EU brings together some 28 European member states, most of whom have maintained close diplomatic, economic and political relations with Tanzania since our independence.

The EU has been a major economic partner with Tanzania for decades. According to current data, foreign direct investment (FDI) from the EU plus Switzerland and Norway grew from €1bn in 2009 to €2.2bn (approx. TAS 5.5trn) in 2013, an increase of a whopping 120%. Trade with the EU currently stands at about €2bn (approx. TAS 5trn).

Tanzania has also been the recipient of substantial financial support from the EU for many years. The trading block has provided us with direct budget support worth many hundreds of millions of Euros, which has benefited the people of Tanzania in many fields, especially in the provision of social services and development projects.

Indeed, on 3rd March, 2017, the recalled Ambassador van der Geer signed a Financing Agreement with the Government of Tanzania, under which the EU committed to provide €205mn (approx. TAS 512bn) in budget support for the implementation of the Second Five Year Development Plan 2016/17 - 2020/2021. That sum is part of €676mn (approx. TAS 1.7trn) in EU development funding to Tanzania over a period 2014 - 2020

The recall of the EU Ambassador should, therefore, be a matter of considerable concern to the people of Tanzania. It is imperative that the Government of Tanzania clarify the reasons for which Ambassador van der Geer has been recalled to Brussels for consultations.

Deterioration in diplomatic relations between the EU and Tanzania would be very costly to the welfare of the people of Tanzania.

We, the people of Tanzania, should not allow our country to be turned into an international pariah, 'a skunk of the world', to use Nelson Mandela's apt description of apartheid South Africa.

Our diplomatic isolation will have serious consequences to our economic relations and social wellbeing. The Government of President John Pombe Magufuli should, therefore, come clean on what's happening in our country's relations with the EU.
