Economic partnership agreements: a pro-development tool?
| Resumo: | Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) put an end to the preferential non-reciprocal commercial treatment from the European Union (EU) to African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, in force since 1975 and until December 2007 (the deadline for EPAs deals). Negotiations are being challenging as only a small number of countries have closed full EPAs with EU by now, on the grounds that EPAs are missing their development goal. This dissertation intends to analyse EPAs negotiation round, evaluate to which extend the agreements are delivering on their promise to be pro-development tools for ACP countries, and access ways in which this delivery can be fostered. |
