Regional integration and regulatory harmonization have so far proved elusive concepts in an African context. Successful implementation of such a design plan would require a centralised governing authority such as could sometimes be said to be found in Europe. It seems unlikely that any one country in the sub continent would be prepared to abrogate its authority to another. This hypothesis is illustrated by the OAU (Organization of African Unity) which has, by its lack of political consistency, frequently demonstrated that its individual governments have not yet developed the maturity to act in concert or even from time to time without corruption. Nonetheless it could be recommended that a twenty or thirty year consultative plan could be put to the OAU in the first instance as a white paper. But the problem remains as to who would construct such an authoritative report and to that question there are, as yet, no answers.
