The Rationales Behind the EU-OACPS Agreement: Process, Outcome, Contestations
In: European foreign affairs review, Band 26, Heft 2, S. 243-264
ISSN: 1875-8223
This article examines the rationales of the European Union (EU) and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) in the preparations and negotiations of the successor to the Cotonou Agreement, paying particular attention to contested issues. It argues that the EU-OACPS Agreement constitutes a fundamental break from past practices, at least apparently: with regards to form, it introduces an unprecedented framework for cooperation, articulated in a common base with three distinct regional pillars; in terms of substance, it proposes a list of equally important strategic priorities, thus going beyond the previous focus on development. Furthermore, unlike its predecessor but like many other agreements signed by the EU with third states, it sets out a comprehensive political partnership for mutually beneficial outcomes. This article, importantly, unravels sources of tensions between and within the two sides. It also shows that negotiations were more symmetrical than in previous instances, not least because contentious issues such as aid volumes and trade cooperation fall outside the remit of the EUOACPS Agreement, and less participatory, as they were largely conducted by a small number of official representatives, with limited involvement of other stakeholders.

Implications of the Cotonou Agreement on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the SADC region: Report of the Small Enterprises Promotion Advisory Council (SEPAC) ; Regional conference held at Harare International Conference Centre (HICC), Harare, Zimbabwe, 26-28 November 2001
Die Auswirkungen des AKP-EU Cotonou-Abkommens, des African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) und des Handelsprotokolls der Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) auf kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) im südlichen Afrika waren das Thema einer Konferenz im November 2001 in Harare, zu der vor allem KMU-Vertreter eingeladen waren. Durch den verbesserten Zugang zu Informationen sollten diese in die Lage versetzt werden, den Herausforderungen und Chancen der Handelsabkommen besser zu begegnen. Die Schrift dokumentiert vier Expertenbeiträge und fasst die Diskussionen zusammen. (DÜI-Sbd)

L'évolution du partenariat UE-ACP de Lomé à Cotonou : de l'exception à la normalisation
Document de recherche - DR LEO 2004-19 ; National audience ; The Cotonou agreement is a turning point in the relations between E.U. and ACP countries. This partnership tended to support development by using the classical means of financial assistance but also with commercial tools. The arbitration of the banana crisis by the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism in 1997 has led to the termination of the non-reciprocal preferences which benefited to the ACP countries. The debate on EU\'s financial cooperation scheme takes place in a context of international reflexion about the conditionality of official development assistance, in its contents and proceedings. The EU could also loose its originality and become a simple actor of a new international consensus managed by the Bretton Woods Institutions (new strategies for aleviating poverty) and the United Nations System (millenium goals). ; L'accord de Cotonou marque un tournant dans les relations entre l'Union européenne et les Etats ACP. Ces relations étaient caractérisées par la volonté des Etats européens d'aider les Etats ACP aussi bien par le moyen classique de l'aide au développement qu'en utilisant l'outil de la politique commerciale. Les vives contestations des exportateurs de bananes sud-américaines devaient conduire, après la condamnation de l'Union européenne par l'Organe de Règlement des Différends de l'OMC en 1997, à une remise en cause de la discrimination commerciale positive des pays ACP. Pour sa part, le débat sur l'aide au développement de l'UE s'inscrit dans la perspective d'une réforme de la conditionnalité de l'aide internationale aussi bien dans son contenu que dans sa mise en oeuvre. Sous cet aspect, l'UE pourrait également perdre en originalité et simplement devenir un des acteurs du nouveau consensus orchestré par les institutions de Bretton Woods (stratégies de lutte contre la pauvreté) et le système onusien (objectifs du millénaire).
