Abstract: State and Government leaders of the African Union adopt and implement efforts for regional integration as a common strategy for the development of the continent.

The stated by African leaders in 2012 intend to create a continental free trade area may be seen as an opportunity for significant progress in the process of continental integration. The report analyzes the prerequisites, conditions, benefits and challenges of creating such a free trade area.
