    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that since the signing of the Cotonou Agreement in 2000 the Government has been negotiating the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with the European Union (EU) together with other member States of the Eastern African region; taking cognizance that the Government has since initialed the interim EPAs; aware of the imminent amendment of the European Union Market Access Regulations, whose effect is that 18 countries, most of which are from the Sub-Saharan Africa which have not signed or ratified the full EPAs, Kenya included, will henceforth be removed from the duty free access to the European market, this House urges the Government not to sign the full EPAs in their current form until all the contentious issues raised by the Eastern African region and Kenya in particular are addressed, and that the Government continues to explore and negotiate alternative trading arrangements with the EU and other trading partners."
