EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES – THE ACP-EC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT 
 
Report of the Parties to the Agreement under the Decision of 14 November 2001
 
 
 
 The following communication, dated 1 December 2006, is being circulated at the request of 
the delegation of the European Commission.  
_______________ 
 
 
1. Introduction 
1. On 14 November 2001
1, the Ministerial Conference decided to grant a waiver for the ACP-
EU Partnership Agreement (known as the Cotonou Ag reement) including the terms and conditions set 
out thereunder.  The waiver applies to the provisi ons of paragraph 1 of Ar ticle I of the General 
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) to the ex tent necessary to permit the European Communities 
to provide preferential tariff treatment for pr oducts originating in ACP States as required by 
Article 36.3, Annex V and its Protocols of the ACP-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 wa iver Decision, the Parties to the Convention 
herewith provide a report on the implementation of th e preferential treatment covered by the waiver.  
This report covers the year 2005.  2. Economic and trade co-operati on 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 foster ing the smooth and gradual integration of the 
ACP States in to the world economy, with due re gard 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  will progressively remove barriers to trade and 
enhance co-operation in all areas relevant to trad e.  The negotiations of these Economic Partnership 
Agreements commenced on 27 September 2002 with the ACP Group as a whole. Negotiations with 
six ACP regions have now also started and the ne w 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 stat es 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 78 ACP contracting parties of the Cotonou Agreement, 55 are presently members of the WTO.  Moreover, Bahamas, Cape Verde, Equa torial Guinea, Ethiopia, Samoa, Sao Tome and 
Principe, Seychelles, Sudan, Tonga and Vanuatu are observer governments to the WTO.  Forty-one 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. Total trade between the EU and the ACP incr eased by 19% in 2005 to €67 billion, following 
decreasing trade volumes in 2002, 2003 and 2004.  These figures are based on imports to the enlarged 
EU25 and so are not directly comparable with  previously reported figures based on the EU15. 
 8. The ACP continue to essentially export comm odities. Exports of petroleum products (37%), 
diamonds (11%), cocoa (6%), fish (4%), aluminium (3%), wood (3%), and sugar (2%) represent about 
two thirds of ACP exports.  
9. EU exports increased by 14% to €30.6 billio n. EU exports to the ACP consist mainly of 
machinery and mechanical equipment, vehicles, airc raft and other transport equipment and chemical 
products.  10. Imports of non-petroleum products from ACP c ountries into the EU were higher than into 
comparable import markets in the US, Canada and Japan in 2005, mainly b ecause of the preferential 
access granted under the Cotonou Agreement.  The EU is the main trade partner for the ACP in non- 
petroleum products, its share in QUAD countries' imports of non-petroleum products from the ACP 
being 64%.  
4. Fulfilment of the terms and condi tions attached to the waiver 
11. The Parties to the Convention have met the te rms 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 en ter into consultations with any interested WTO 
Member with respect to any difficulty or matter that may arise as a result of the waiver.
