A study on the implementation of the cultural provisions of the Economic Partnership Agreement has been released
The European centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) has released a study on the implementation of the cultural provisions of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) signed by the EU and the Cariforum countries in October 2008. This study has been conducted by the Brussels-based consultancy KEA whereas the implementation of the cultural provisions of the agreement and its annexed Cultural Cooperation Protocol (CCP) is still at the very beginning due to a very limited number of ratifications by European Member States and Cariforum countries.
Nevertheless KEA gives a set of recommandations to the European Commission, EU Member States and Cariforum countries in order to develop the cultural cooperation between the EU and the Cariforum countries.
