Latin-Amerika és a karib-tengeri térség

This page is also available in

Az EGSZB az 1990-es évek óta működik együtt a latin-amerikai és karibi társszervezetekkel. Számos EGSZB-vélemény foglalkozott az e régióval fenntartott regionális, szubregionális és nemzetközi szintű kapcsolatokkal. Az EGSZB prioritásai közé tartozik a civil társadalmi szervezetek fejlesztése, a gazdasági és társadalmi fejlődés, a regionális integráció és a többoldalú együttműködés.

Regionális szinten az EU–CELAC csúcstalálkozót megelőző előkészítő rendezvények sorában az EGSZB kétévente találkozót szervez az európai, latin-amerikai és a karibi civil társadalmi szervezetek képviselőinek. 

Szubregionális és nemzeti szinten több állandó struktúra is kialakult: 2009-ben az EGSZB létrehozott egy civil társadalmi kerekasztalt a Brazil Gazdasági és Szociális Tanáccsal abból a célból, hogy fórumot biztosítson a brazil és az európai civil társadalom képviselői közötti párbeszédhez és együttműködéshez. Az EU–Chile társulási megállapodása felhatalmazást adott az EGSZB-nek, hogy a megállapodás nyomon követése érdekében chilei civil társadalmi társszervezetével létrehozzon egy konzultatív vegyes bizottságot, amelyre végül 2016-ban került sor. Az Andok Közösség országait illetően az EGSZB részt vesz az EU Kolumbiával, Peruval és Ecuadorral kötött szabadkereskedelmi megállapodásait nyomon követő belső tanácsadó csoportban. Részt vesz továbbá a CARIFORUM–EU konzultatív bizottságban, amely a CARIFORUM és az EU közötti gazdasági partnerségi megállapodást követi nyomon. Állandó kapcsolatokat hoztunk létre az EGSZB Mercosur-beli, illetve közép-amerikai társintézményeivel (a Mercosur Gazdasági és Szociális Konzultatív Fórumával, illetve a Közép-amerikai Integrációs Rendszer konzultatív bizottságával).

Environmental issues in economic partnership agreements: Implications for developing countries
Document
Latest update: 
22/11/2019

The main conclusion of the paper is that the incorporation of environmental provisions within the EPAs may present some benefits to ACP countries. These include increased enforcement of environmental laws and the raising of domestic environmental standards. However, developing countries will have to seek ways to mitigate some risks and challenges associated with internal and regional coordination in negotiations, legal burdens of the negotiating process itself and the implementation of obligations as well as the establishment and maintenance of appropriate levels of environmental protection and institution building. ACP countries will need appropriate packages of technical assistance, capacity building, and environmental cooperation to meet this new environmental agenda in their trade agreements.
