Welcome to the new Private Sector section of the acp-eu-trade.org website !

On these new thematic pages, you will be able to:

• quickly access relevant information regarding trade regimes applicable to EU and ACP countries, and most prominently on EPAs and what these agreement entail for your daily activities.
• find a list of external statistical websites to easily access trade statistics, tariff data, SPS and RoOs provisions in different trade regimes.
• find in-depth analyses and publications on the modalities and provisions of different trade regimes, notably the EPAs, and their implications for their sector of activity.
•  get information on the existing instruments for private sector support in ACP countries (under EDF, EIB and/or through individual member states’ instruments)

This segment of the website is organised around two main sections.

The first one provides a succinct overview of the different EU preferential trading arrangements with ACP countries, i.e Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) on the one hand, and the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) including the Everything but Arms Initiative for Least Developed Countries on the other hand, with information regarding preferential rules of origins, as well as links to the texts and liberalisation schedules when applicable.

The second main section of the website highlights the institutional framework of the EU support to private sector development in ACP countries and provides access to the different institutions aimed at supportng private sector initiatives in the framework of EU-ACP relations.

We hope you will find these information useful.

Should you have enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us here.
