implementation upon approval by the EAC Council of Ministers.  
3.  We wish to draw the attention of Members to our previous statements on this matter and 
further inform members that the sta ndards have been going through the revision process at 
regional level. So far, the revised standards on Spirits, Sparkling Wine and Fortified Wines have 
been approved by the relevant Sectoral Council of Ministers, and will soon be gazetted as East 
Africa S tandards. The EAC Partner States will thereafter individually adopt the gazetted standards 
as National Standards, thereby making them available for use by the stakeholders.  
4.  Discussions on standards on Beers and Still Table Wine are ongoing. We shall keep the 
Members updated on any new developments in this area in our subsequent meetings.  
5.  The EAC Partner States are ready for further engagement with the Delegations of the EU, US,
