<p>In 2000 “the European Union and South Africa Free Trade Agreement” was established with</p><p>the aim to gradually increase the amount of duty-free agricultural and industrial products to</p><p>each market. The aim of this paper is to investigate if South Africa benefits from the EU-SA</p><p>Free Trade Agreement and also what impacts this agreement has on South Africa’s trade with</p><p>Southern Africa and the rest of the world. The result from the study indicates that South</p><p>Africa benefits from the agreement in terms of improve trade. The result also shows that</p><p>South Africa’s trade with some Southern African countries has been negative effected by the</p><p>agreement but it is difficult to state if this is caused by the agreement or not. The rest of the</p><p>world has not been negatively affected by the agreement.</p>
