    "content": "to Dubai. This has been going on despite the discussions. All national assemblies with EALA on board should consider this so that the airspace is opened and transport can be available. In the same spirit of regional integration, the EAC region deserves to develop one regional airline. It worked very well when we were young or before some of us were born. However, after the collapse of the EAC, that single airline, East African Airways, also collapsed. We hope it can be recommitted. However, the Committee notes the clamour by partner States to have national airlines, which is likely to create more confusion and losses in the aviation industry. Some partner States are yet to ratify important regulatory documents under the Open Skies Initiative. For instance, only the Republic of Kenya and Rwanda have signed and ratified that protocol. Different fuel licensing fees make air travel in this region very expensive. While we speak of expensive air travel, even if we sing about the free market, trading and inter-trade from morning to evening, it cannot thrive under those harsh circumstances. The traceability system initiated by Lake Victoria Fisheries in Jinja is instrumental in successfully marketing fish to the European Union, because it enables consumers to trace back the fish marketed in Europe to landing beaches in the country of origin. A similar mechanism does not exist for regional and domestic fish, giving it a unique and attractive avenue for fish consumers, particularly in Europe. That is because they can already trace the origin, and ensure they conform to their standards. The efficient management of lake resources has the potential to attract industrial development. More than 17 industrial processing plants in the Republics of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania are already processing fish from Lake Victoria. This is because the three partner States have that common lake, while the other partner States, Rwanda and Burundi, do not."
