 EPA negotiations: Where do we stand?

- updated weekly -

Dear readers,

Since mid-October, the focus of the work of the acp-eu-trade.org website team has been on our pages dedicated to the EPA negotiations. Besides giving an overview of the current state of negotiations in each region, these pages provide links to recent articles from ACP and EU news providers and highlight new relevant documents.

French versions of the updates are available for the All ACP overview as well as for the regional pages on Central Africa, West Africa and Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA).

A printable pdf document that includes a complete set of all pages in English can be downloaded at http://www.acp-eu-trade.org/epa. A French version of this pdf document includes the pages “All ACP”, “Central Africa”, “West Africa” and “ESA”

The updates of previous weeks can be accessed in pdf format through our library. Press articles previously displayed on the “EPA negotiations: Where do we stand?” pages are archived in our searchable news section. Key documents and new publications are equally available in our library, which also gives access to a rich pool of documents in addition to those presented on the EPA pages.

As always, we welcome any comments or additional information you are willing to share.

Editors: Davina Makhan (dm@ecdpm.org) and Corinna Braun-Munzinger (cbm@ecdpm.org)

Read our lastest weekly update of "EPA negotiations: where do we stand?"
