CONTENTS Workgroup meetings 2007 Focus of Activities Recap of AFRI specs Regional spec compliance Next Steps Appendix: National Specifications
Workgroup meetings: 2007 25 September 2007 Luanda Key outcome: timeframe for AFRI specs must be decided 5 December 2007 - Accra Key outcome: all W & C Africa members should commit to meeting the specifications for AFRI 1 prior to the end of 2008
What have we been doing? 2007 PROJECTS Promoting Regional Harmonisation through Working Group meetings Working with UNEP to promote Lead phase out in North Africa Working with IPIECA and the World Bank on a Refinery Sector development study which will include evaluating cost-benefit of specification changes

Next Steps
Current Efforts.. Continued checking that reported specs are the current ones Are there any changes about to be imposed by Authorities or Customers? Each country to submit plan to move up AFRI scale What is the time period involved to achieve changes? What are the likely costs/implications of spec improvements?
Next Steps N. Africa Group to meet in 2008, possibly in Cairo Seek African Union endorsement/ownership of AFRI specification process Develop monitoring system to report progress up the AFRI scale Input as necessary into WB study through CITAC database
