Book Description

ISBN-10: 0850927897 | ISBN-13: 978-0850927894 | Publication Date: January 2005

This ‘user’s guide’ provides easily accessible information on what is possible under the Cotonou Agreement, using 149 simple questions. It needs to be seen against the background of efforts to simplify the basic text of the ACP-EU co-operation agreement. As a consequence of this effort detailed provisions essential to the implementation of ACP-EU co-operation activities have often been relegated to annexes and protocols, or they are left to be clarified by internal guidelines produced by implementing agencies. This is why this simple question-and-answer guide to the various aspects of ACP-EU co-operation has been produced. It is divided into four main parts: The Structure of the Cotonou Agreement; Development Assistance Under the Cotonou Agreement; Trade Arrangements Under the Cotonou Agreement; Political Relations Under the Cotonou Agreement. The main section is supplemented by 43 annexes providing more detailed information on issues raised in the main text.
