EP resolution of 23 June 2022 on the future of EU-Africa trade relations
EP resolution of 25 March 2021 on a new EU-Africa Strategy – a partnership for sustainable and inclusive development
The European Parliament adopted on 25 March 2021 a resolution on the sustainable and inclusive development aspects of the EU-Africa strategy. It calls for closer cooperation on key areas such as security, agriculture, and health, to better anticipate future health crises. It insists that the future relationship must move away from a donor-recipient dynamic, and give African countries the means to achieve sustainable development, including through fair and ethical trade.
The resolution regrets that EU-Africa relations have been dominated by the migration issue. It suggests that a renewed partnership help devise a fair migration policy, really tackling the root causes of migration and better delivering on an effective visa and legal migration policy. The resolution highlights the need for the new budgetary instrument for external action (NDICI - Global Europe) to dedicate adequate resources, notably to climate objectives.
