Industrial lobbying has long influenced trade policy in West African countries. At one point, conflicting World Bank and IMF doctrines impeded trade liberalization in West Africa and played into the hands of pressure groups. In the 1990s, the reforms advocated by these two institutions moved into closer alignment, especially as part of support for regional integration. Although the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) tends to favour the status quo in trade policy reform, support of the Washington Consensus and of the European Union has allowed partial trade policy deprivatization by applying a common external tariff (CET). However, maintaining national tax exemptions and incentives very seriously erodes the CET'S impact and may jeopardize the reform's sustainability as well as the opportunity to expand the Customs Union to other West African countries with the negotiation of the Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union
