   EP - Decision by Parliament
Details

The European Parliament adopted, by 375 votes to 220 with 46 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the draft Council decision on the conclusion of the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement between Ghana, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part.

The European Parliament gave its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement.

As a reminder, this stepping stone Agreement ensures a contractual safety net, warranting a duty-free access to the EU market until the regional agreement comes into a fruition and it matches market access opportunities with provisions addressing technical barriers to trade.

   EP - Committee report tabled for plenary, 1st reading/single reading
Details

The Committee on International Trade adopted the report by Christofer FJELLNER (EPP, SE) on the draft Council decision on the conclusion of the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement between Ghana, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part.

The committee recommended that the European Parliament should give its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement.

The committee recalled that with the signature of the EU-West Africa Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) taking additional time, Ghana (and subsequently Côte d'Ivoire) has decided to proceed with ratification of its Stepping Stone Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union, concluded back in 2007.

The deal ensures a contractual safety net, warranting a duty-free access to the EU market until the regional agreement comes into a fruition. The IEPA matches market access opportunities with provisions addressing technical barriers to trade and helping Ghanaian exporters meet Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) requirements.

No less important is the co-operation aimed at strengthening capacity in fiscal reforms, improving business climate, competitiveness, trade facilitation and customs co-operation.

Therefore, Parliament is called upon to give consent to this interim agreement which would open doors to its provisional application in order to allow Ghanaian exporters to preserve the duty-free preferences on the European market.

The Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, amended the EU's two core treaties, the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (EC Treaty). The latter was renamed the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

These changes had various consequences for many ongoing procedures. First of all, the articles of the TEU and of the old EC Treaty that constitute the legal basis of all the proposals founded on those Treaties were renumbered in accordance with the table of equivalences mentioned in Article 5 of the Lisbon Treaty.

In addition, some proposals underwent a change to their legal basis going beyond a mere change to their numbering, and this resulted in changes to the type of procedure .

The Lisbon Treaty also introduced new concepts of decision-making procedure . The old "codecision procedure" was extended to new areas and renamed the "ordinary legislative procedure". A new "consent procedure" replaced the old "assent procedure". New interinstitutional procedures were also set up for the adoption of certain non-legislative acts, for example the conclusion of some international agreements.

The ongoing proposals concerned by these changes were formally modified by the Commission in a Communication published on 2 December 2009 (COM(2009)0665).

In the case of the proposal for a Council Decision concluding the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part, the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty had the following impacts :

· the old legal basis – Treaty/EC/Art.133, Art 181, Art.300(3) 2nd para. - became Art 207(4) first para, Art.211, Art 218 (6)(a) of the TFEU. Please note that the numbering of the old legal basis corresponds to the consolidated version of the Treaty that was applicable immediately before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, and may differ from the references in the original Commission proposal ;

· the proposal, which had previously fallen under the old assent procedure (AVC), was classified as an interinstitutional non-legislative procedure (NLE).

PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.

BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.

Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.

The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:

Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .

CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:

· Trade in Goods,

· Customs and Trade Facilitation,

· Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.

There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.

The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.

Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).

Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

  • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.
  • PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
  • BACKGROUND: the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.
  • Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 , adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.
  • The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:
  • Benin , Burkina Faso , Ivory Coast , Guinea Bissau, Mali , Niger , Senegal , Togo , Cape Verde , Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Liberia , Nigeria , Sierra Leone , Mauritania .
  • CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:
  • · Trade in Goods,
  • · Customs and Trade Facilitation,
  • · Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.
  • There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.
  • The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.
  • Provisional application : pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).
  • Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.

            • date: 2009-12-02T00:00:00 type: Additional information body: all summary: The Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, amended the EU's two core treaties, the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (EC Treaty). The latter was renamed the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). These changes had various consequences for many ongoing procedures. First of all, the articles of the TEU and of the old EC Treaty that constitute the legal basis of all the proposals founded on those Treaties were renumbered in accordance with the table of equivalences mentioned in Article 5 of the Lisbon Treaty. In addition, some proposals underwent a change to their legal basis going beyond a mere change to their numbering, and this resulted in changes to the type of procedure . The Lisbon Treaty also introduced new concepts of decision-making procedure . The old "codecision procedure" was extended to new areas and renamed the "ordinary legislative procedure". A new "consent procedure" replaced the old "assent procedure". New interinstitutional procedures were also set up for the adoption of certain non-legislative acts, for example the conclusion of some international agreements. The ongoing proposals concerned by these changes were formally modified by the Commission in a Communication published on 2 December 2009 (COM(2009)0665). In the case of the proposal for a Council Decision concluding the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part, the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty had the following impacts : · the old legal basis – Treaty/EC/Art.133, Art 181, Art.300(3) 2nd para. - became Art 207(4) first para, Art.211, Art 218 (6)(a) of the TFEU. Please note that the numbering of the old legal basis corresponds to the consolidated version of the Treaty that was applicable immediately before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, and may differ from the references in the original Commission proposal ; · the proposal, which had previously fallen under the old assent procedure (AVC), was classified as an interinstitutional non-legislative procedure (NLE).

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: Council may adopt the act only if Parliament has given its consent to the act. BACKGROUND: the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000, calls for the conclusion of WTO-compatible Economic Partnership Agreements. On 12 June 2002, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations for Economic Partnership Agreements with members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States. Negotiations for a stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement have been concluded with Ghana and the Agreement has been initialled on 13 December 2007. The Agreement was signed on 28 July 2016 subject to its conclusion at a later date. It has been provisionally applied pending its entry into force. It is now necessary for it to be approved. CONTENT: the draft Council Decision aims to approve on behalf of the Union the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement between Ghana, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part . It is noted that the Agreement shall not be construed as conferring rights or imposing obligations which can be directly invoked before Union or Member State courts and tribunals.

The committee recommended that the European Parliament should give its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement. The committee recalled that with the signature of the EU-West Africa Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) taking additional time, Ghana (and subsequently Côte d'Ivoire) has decided to proceed with ratification of its Stepping Stone Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union, concluded back in 2007. The deal ensures a contractual safety net, warranting a duty-free access to the EU market until the regional agreement comes into a fruition. The IEPA matches market access opportunities with provisions addressing technical barriers to trade and helping Ghanaian exporters meet Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) requirements. No less important is the co-operation aimed at strengthening capacity in fiscal reforms, improving business climate, competitiveness, trade facilitation and customs co-operation. Therefore, Parliament is called upon to give consent to this interim agreement which would open doors to its provisional application in order to allow Ghanaian exporters to preserve the duty-free preferences on the European market.

            • The European Parliament adopted, by 375 votes to 220 with 46 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the draft Council decision on the conclusion of the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement between Ghana, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part.

              The European Parliament gave its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement.

              As a reminder, this stepping stone Agreement ensures a contractual safety net, warranting a duty-free access to the EU market until the regional agreement comes into a fruition and it matches market access opportunities with provisions addressing technical barriers to trade.

            • The Committee on International Trade adopted the report by Christofer FJELLNER (EPP, SE) on the draft Council decision on the conclusion of the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement between Ghana, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part.

              The committee recommended that the European Parliament should give its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement.

              The committee recalled that with the signature of the EU-West Africa Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) taking additional time, Ghana (and subsequently Côte d'Ivoire) has decided to proceed with ratification of its Stepping Stone Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union, concluded back in 2007.

              The deal ensures a contractual safety net, warranting a duty-free access to the EU market until the regional agreement comes into a fruition. The IEPA matches market access opportunities with provisions addressing technical barriers to trade and helping Ghanaian exporters meet Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) requirements.

              No less important is the co-operation aimed at strengthening capacity in fiscal reforms, improving business climate, competitiveness, trade facilitation and customs co-operation.

              Therefore, Parliament is called upon to give consent to this interim agreement which would open doors to its provisional application in order to allow Ghanaian exporters to preserve the duty-free preferences on the European market.

            • PURPOSE: to conclude the stepping stone Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and Ghana, of the other part.

              PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.

              BACKGROUND:  the stepping stone EPA has been negotiated with Ghana in order to avoid disrupting trade between this country and the Community on the expiry on 31 December 2007 of the trade provisions set out in Annex V of the Cotonou Agreement and the WTO waiver that covered them, and pending the completion of a comprehensive EPA with the whole West African region.

              Following the initialling of this Agreement respectively on 13 December 2007, Ghana was added to the list of countries benefiting from an EPA trade regime established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, adopted on 20 December 2007. This Regulation provided for an advance application of the EPA trade regime.

              The negotiation of a full EPA with the whole West African region continues, consistently with the negotiating directives for EPAs with the ACP States adopted by Council on 12 June 2002. The countries of this region are:

              • Benin,
              • Burkina Faso,
              • Ivory Coast,
              • Guinea Bissau,
              • Mali,
              • Niger,
              • Senegal,
              • Togo,
              • Cape Verde,
              • Gambia,
              • Ghana,
              • Guinea,
              • Liberia,
              • Nigeria,
              • Sierra Leone,
              • Mauritania.

              CONTENT: the stepping stone EPA, which the Commission request the Council to conclude on behalf of the Community, after assent by the European Parliament, contains provisions on:

              ·         Trade in Goods,

              ·         Customs and Trade Facilitation,

              ·         Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.

              There are also Development Cooperation provisions setting out priority areas of action for the implementation of the EPA. Each individual substantive chapter of the Agreement includes specific areas of cooperation and a Development Cooperation declaration establishes the link with the EU Aid for Trade strategy and recalls the Commission's and Member States’ intention to contribute to a regional development fund.

              The Agreement also foresees the continuation of negotiations at regional level on investment, services and trade related issues and provides that the full regional EPA will supersede it once concluded.

              Provisional application: pending the entry into force of the stepping stone EPA, the stepping stone EPA foresees the provisional application of the Agreement (see COM(2008)0440).

              Lastly, the European Parliament will be called upon to give its assent to the conclusion of the stepping stone EPA.
