Zafir Posted December 9, 2007 LISBON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Most African leaders refuse to accept Economic Partnership Agreements demanded by the European Union and want to negotiate different accords to replace them, Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade said on Sunday. "We are not talking any more about EPAs, we've rejected them ... we're going to meet to see what we can put in place of the EPAs," Wade told reporters on the second and final day of an EU-Africa summit in Lisbon.
