ACP-EU PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
Report of the Parties to the Agreement
under the Decision of 14 November 2001
The following communication, dated 3 December 2002, has been received from the
Permanent Delegation of the European Commission.
_______________
1. Introduction
1. On 14 November 20011, the Ministerial Conference decided to grant a waiver for the ACP-
EU Partnership Agreement (known as the Cotonou Agr eement) including the terms and conditions set
out thereunder.  The waiver applies to the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article I of the GeneralAgreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) to the extent necessary to permit the European Communities
to provide preferential tariff treatment for products originating in ACP States as required by
Article 36.3, Annex V and its Protocols of the AC P-EU Partnership Agreement, without being
required to extend the same preferential treatment to like products of any other WTO Member.  This
waiver expires on 31 December 2007.
2. In accordance with paragraph 5 of the waiver Decision, the Parties to the Convention
herewith provide a report on the implementation of the preferential treatment covered by the waiver.
This report covers the year 2001.
2. Economic and trade co-operation under the Cotonou Agreement
3. Trade development is one of the objectives of the Cotonou Agreement.  Article 34 states that
“economic and trade co-operation shall aim at fostering the smooth and gradual integration of the
ACP States in to the world economy, with due regard for their political choices and development
priorities, thereby promoting their sustainable deve lopment and contributing to poverty eradication in
the ACP countries”.
4. To fulfil these objectives, the Parties to the Agreement agreed to conclude new WTO-
compatible trading arrangements, under which they w ill progressively remove barriers to trade and
enhance co-operation in all areas relevant to trade.  The negotiations of these Economic Partnership
Agreements commenced on 27 September 2002 and new trading arrangements will come into force
by 1 January 2008 at the latest.

5. Meanwhile, Article 36 of the Cotonou Agreement maintains the non-reciprocal trade
preferences that were applied under the Fourth Lomé Convention.  This preferential access into the
EU market for products originating from ACP states  is laid down in Article 1 of Annex V to the
Agreement and in Declaration XXII.  In addition to the Declaration which applies for all ACP states,
the product protocols on beef and veal and sugar establish the preferential treatment for a list of
specific ACP countries.
6. Of the 77 ACP contracting parties of the Cotonou Agreement, 55 are presently members of
the WTO.  Moreover, Bahamas, Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Samoa, Sao Tome and
Principe, Seychelles, Sudan, Tonga and Vanuatu are observer governments to the WTO.  Forty of the
ACP States are included in the UN list of 49 Least Developed countries.  See annex 1 for details.
3. Trade performance under the Cotonou Agreement
7. Bilateral trade between the AC P and the EU reached its highest ever level in 2001, with total
trade worth €58.6 billion.  ACP exports towards the EU increased by 9% in 2001, which is the second
consecutive year of increase (€31.2 billion in  2001, €28.6 billion in 2000 and €21.8 billion in 1999).
Excluding petrol, the increase has been more than 20% during the last two years.
8. The ACP continue to essentially export commodities (65%), with the share of semi-processed
products at 16% and that of processed products at 19%.  Exports of petrol (30%), diamonds (10%),
cocoa (4%), wood (4%), sugar, aluminium and coff ee represent more than 50% of total exports.
Nonetheless, in 2001, exports of finished industrial goods grew by nearly 16%.
9. EU exports to the ACP have increased less strongly in 2001 (4%) and reached €26.4 billion.
Therefore, the ACP have reached their highest trade surplus with the EU at just under €4 billion.
10. Relative imports from ACP countries were high er into the EU than into comparable import
markets in the US, Canada and Japan in 2001, mainly because of the preferential access granted under
the Cotonou Agreement.  The EU is the main trade partner for the ACP accounting for 49% of
QUAD-ACP trade.  If petrol is excluded, the EU share of ACP exports to QUAD countries is 63%.
4. Fulfilment of the terms and conditions attached to the waiver
11. The Parties to the Convention have met the terms and conditions attached to the waiver.  Any
changes in the preferential treatment for products originating in the ACP States will continue to be
notified to the WTO.  Furthermore, the parties to the Agreement wish to assure the other WTO
Members that they will, upon request, promptly enter into consultations with any interested WTOMember with respect to any difficulty or matter that may arise as a result of the waiver.WT/L/504
