* “EPA negotiations: Where do we stand?”

In 2008, a new crucial phase of EPA negotiations is beginning. ECDPM will continue providing information on the state of play in each ACP region negotiating with the EU at dedicated webpages accessible via www.acp-eu-trade/epa .

The pages provide an overview of the (interim) agreements initialled by 1 January 2008, summarise recent developments in the ongoing negotiations in each region and give access to background reading and recent documents from the acp-eu-trade.org library.

These spaces remain open for contribution and we invite all stakeholders and interested parties on ACP-EU trade relations to actively contribute, share or suggest any relevant piece of information on the on-going negotiations at acpeutrade@ecdpm.org.
Should you wish to make a confidential comment, please contact Melissa Julian (mj@ecdpm.org) or Corinna Braun-Munzinger (cbm@ecdpm.org).
