TRADING FOR DEVELOPMENT?
The implementation of the SADC Trade Protocol began on 1 September 2000. Mauritius
and South Africa were the first to start implementing the Trade Protocol, and
Mozambique was the last to do so. By May 2003, all signatories to the Protocol, except
Zimbabwe, had gazetted legal instruments implementing tariff reduction schedules.
The ministers of trade and industry also revised the SADC rules of origin with effect
from 5 August 2002, but no evidence has been submitted to the Secretariat by any
member state indicating the implementation of the revised rules.
