The International Center for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD), in partnership with the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI), is pleased to organize a Dialogue on “Fisheries in ACP-EU Negotiations on Economic Partnership Agreements”. The meeting will be held on February 9th and 10th, 2009 in Mombasa, Kenya, and will bring together representatives of the various ACP regions.
The objectives of this dialogue are:
- To take stock of the current state of affairs in ACP-EC negotiations on fishery aspects of EPA;
- To allow ACP negotiators and stakeholders to address specific issues that remain unresolved in such negotiations, including questions related to rules on investment, transitional arrangements with regard to preference erosion, and rules of origin;
- To consider opportunities and challenges for promoting intra-ACP trade in fish and fishery products.
The dialogue will bring together around 35 negotiators, policy makers and stakeholders in the fields of fishery, trade, and environmental policy to interact in an informal and open fashion, with a view to input substantively in the process of ongoing negotiations on fishery aspects of EPAs.
Translation will be made available, both from English into French and from French into English.
