JOINT ASSEMBLY OF THE CONVENTION CONCLUED BETWEEN THE AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC STATES AND THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (ACP-EC)

RESOLUTION () on the economic and financial progress made in various ACP States

The ACP-EU Joint Assembly,

- meeting in Luxembourg from 23 to 26 September 1996,

A. whereas the development of ACP States must continue to be a priority aim of European Union policy,

B. whereas the establishment of a stable economic and financial climate in the ACP countries encourages foreign investment,

C. whereas development can take place only in an environment where human rights are respected, democracy is practised and the rule of law and good government are a constant objective of government leaders,

D. whereas development aid funds are not always used exclusively for the achievement of the established objectives,

E. having regard to the difficult conditions facing a number of ACP States,

F. having regard to the economic and financial situation in many ACP States and the measures taken to reduce the public debt and boost the economy and exports,

1. Notes that the aid policy so far applied has not always achieved its goals and that the mechanisms for the distribution of resources should therefore be reviewed;

2. Considers that steps should be taken to encourage those countries which are endeavouring to implement rigorous economic and financial policies and which have introduced a multi-party democracy based on human rights;

3. Believes that these countries should be the first to benefit from debt cancellation decisions;

4. Believes that a differentiated distribution of aid on the basis of economic and financial achievements can help these countries to continue with their current restructuring measures;

6. Instructs its Co-Presidents to forward this resolution to the ACP-EU Council and the Commission.
Joint Assembly of the Convention concluded between the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the European Union (ACP-EU) - Resolutions adopted on Southern Africa (ACP-EU/2124/97/fin.)

The ACP-EU Joint Assembly,

- meeting in Brussels from 17 to 20 March 1997,

A. aware of the existing evidence that there is a strong dependence on wild resources by rural poor and that these resources have a potential to serve as an engine for sustainable rural development,

B. considering that Africa's greatest environmental threat is the loss of soils and woodlands productivity caused by the increasingly frequent cultivation and grazing of wild lands which are marginal to agriculture,

C. aware that the conservation of wild species and habitat will succeed in the long run only if it can generate revenue as an economically competitive form of land use and that the value of wild species must be enhanced if it is to become an economically competitive land use,

D. aware of the success that integrated conservation and development programmes based on the management of wild species by rural communities are having in the Southern African region,

E. acknowledging the ability of such community conservation processes to provide real and tangible benefits to communities through the sustainable use of the wild resources,

F. considering that Zimbabwe will host the Global Biodiversity Forum and the CITES COP 10 in June 1997,

1. Requests the European Union to explicitly support African community-based natural resource management programmes aiming at conserving natural resources through rural communities empowerment and sustainable use of wild species;

2. Requests the European Union to implement a biodiversity conservation policy consistent with the principles of sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits of world's biological diversity and the biodiversity conservation strategies of Southern African nations which aim at reconciling the conservation of biological diversity with the improvement of the quality of live of their rural poor;

3. Requests the Member States of the European Union to support at the CITES COP 10 proposals submitted by Southern African nations seeking the conservation of wild species of fauna and flora through the realisation of its full economic value for conservation and development purposes;

4. Urges the Parties to CITES attending next COP 10 to base their decisions on the best scientific information available so that Southern African conservation and rural development programmes based on the sustainable management of wild species are not jeopardised by the imposition of Western values which often ignore human needs;

5. Instructs its Co-Presidents to forward this resolution to the ACP-EU Council, to the Commission, the CITES Secretariat and the Biodiversity Convention Secretariat.
