Fontagne et<br />
al (2008) “An<br />
impact Study<br />
of the EU-<br />
ACP<br />
Economic<br />
Partnership<br />
Agreements<br />
(<strong>EPA</strong>s) in the<br />
Six ACP<br />
regions.<br />
All ACP<br />
countries<br />
aggregated<br />
into the <strong>EPA</strong><br />
groupings:<br />
COMESA,<br />
ECOWAS,<br />
CEMAC,<br />
SADC, CAR,<br />
PAC.<br />
- Dynamic Partial Equilibrium model 6-digits. (COMEXT,<br />
BACI and Ave from MAcMapsHS6v2)<br />
- Substantially all trade defined: 90% of bilateral trade in<br />
volume and/or 90% of tariff lines.<br />
- Full implementation in 15 years (2022) but EU in 2008.<br />
- Sensitive products selected using two methodologies.<br />
• H1: Agricultural products are prioritised in selection to<br />
avoid competitive pressures.<br />
• H2: Minimise tariff revenue losses at regional level.<br />
No Deep Integration.<br />
- Demand side model with infinite supply capacity (hence<br />
potential trade estimates rather than actual i.e. assume that<br />
ACP countries can satisfy extra demand).<br />
- Scenarios:<br />
• End of Cotonou, no <strong>EPA</strong>s hence GSP for dev countries<br />
and EBA for LDCs.<br />
• End of Cotonou, no <strong>EPA</strong>s and GSP+ for Dev and EBA for<br />
LDCs.<br />
• End of Cotonou, <strong>EPA</strong> and H1 and H2 scenarios and also<br />
successful Doha round.<br />
- Results are presented in deviations from these<br />
counterfactuals rather than from status quo. Effects will be<br />
larger as Cotonou preferences much better than GSP hence<br />
loss of Cotonou generates loss for most regions and then<br />
<strong>EPA</strong>s cause extra benefit.<br />

• Increase in imports: average 7% in 2015 but 17.7% in<br />
2022<br />
• Tariff revenue: 70% loss(H1 scenario) on EU import<br />
takings but overall 26% of total in long run 2022 (H1).<br />
Under H2, loss falls to 19% in 2022.<br />
Costs of losing Cotonou (Exports - loss of 4% in<br />
total):<br />
• COMESA:- 12%<br />
• ECOWAS:-2.3%<br />
• CEMAC: - 4%<br />
• SADC: -1.8%<br />
• CAR: -9%<br />
• Pacific: -8.2%<br />
Effect of <strong>EPA</strong>s compared to baseline of GSP/EBA<br />
(2022)<br />
EXPORTS/ IMPORTS<br />
• AllACP: + 10.7% /i.e. 5.4% better than currently /<br />
+17% by 2022 (7% by 2015 due to tariff dismantling)<br />
• ECOWAS +4% / +15%<br />
• CEMAC +7% / +17%<br />
• COMESA +25% / +21%<br />
• SADC + 7% / + 11%<br />
• CARI: +25% / +27%<br />
• Pacific+37% / +0%<br />
Government revenues:<br />
Overall loss of tariff revenue (taking into account all<br />
origins) H1/H2<br />
• AllACP: 25%/18%<br />
• ECOWAS 38%/27%<br />
• CEMAC 41%/30%<br />
• COMESA 21%/16%<br />
• SADC 22%/16%<br />
• CARI 16%/13%<br />
• Pacific 8%/8%
