The problem definition and problem drivers in the impact assessment (IA) appear to be well-supported by evidence. The IA provides a well-structured analysis of the existing situation and the likelihood for the problem to persist. The IA identifies the initiative's general and specific objectives, which appear to be specific, achievable, relevant and time-bound, but not measurable, as recommended by the Better Regulation Toolbox 'S.M.A.R.T.' criteria. The IA does not define more detailed operational ...

On 15 November 2023, the European Union (EU) and its Member States signed a new partnership agreement (referred to as the 'Samoa Agreement') with member states of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS).

EU:s samarbete med afrikanska länder och Afrikanska unionen (AU) bygger på två skilda ramar, nämligen a) partnerskapsavtalen med stater i Afrika, Karibien och Stillahavsområdet (AKS) och b) den gemensamma strategin Afrika-EU. Partnerskapsavtalet, som undertecknades i Cotonou (Benin) 2000 mellan EU och AKS-staterna och som har utgjort den rättsliga grunden för partnerskapets politiska, ekonomiska och utvecklingsmässiga aspekter i över 20 år, håller på att ersättas av ett helt nytt avtal som undertecknades ...

Through its development cooperation programmes, the EU has committed significant funds to reduce energy poverty in its partner countries in Africa. These programmes aim to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 7, which ...
