Pressemitteilung: WTO/GATS-Verhandlungen: Minister Glos führe besser nach Bolivien als nach Genf
24.07.2008 | Berlin/Genf. In einem ironischen Reisetipp empfahl die Nichtregierungsorganisation WEED (Weltwirtschaft, Ökologie & Entwicklung) heute Wirtschaftsminister Glos, am morgigen Freitag nicht etwa in Genf die Interessen der deutschen Industrie zu vertreten, sondern stattdessen nach Bolivien zu reisen. Der Minister könne sich dort über die Zusammenhänge von sozialer Sicherheit, Klimaschutz, Ernährungssouveränität und Welthandel unterrichten lassen. (Presse) [mehr]

From 8th to 9th December 2007 heads of states and governments
of African countries and of the European Union will meet in
Lisbon for the second time ever to conclude a common vision
and joint strategy for future relations. The first EU Africa summit- held in Cairo in 2000 - ended with the adoption of the Cairo Declaration. In recent years and with achievements like the EU Africa strategy of 2005, the foundation of the African Union
(AU) and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD),
but also the negotiations for new regional free trade agreements,
the so-called Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), the relationship
between the EU and Africa has evolved substantially.
The EU wants mutual relations to move towards a new strategic
partnership that is guided by the political vision of a joint EUAfrica
strategy. The joint strategy is an attempt to concentrate
fragmented EU sector policies dealing with African countries into
a coherent strategy that serves the promotion of peace and
security, sustainable development and democratic governance.
But in political reality, are these objectives what the ambitious
joint strategy is to accomplish? Are the institutional preconditions
met in both Europe and in Africa to implement the joint strategy?
What is the meaning of a true and equal partnership if it is to
evolve beyond - politically correct - rhetoric and past experiences?
Will Europe be able to free itself from the paternalism of the
past? How does the EU’s economic self-interest relate to Africa’s
economic development? Will the expanding EU security interests- from supporting peace operations to meeting its energy
supplies - dominate other external policies such as development
or humanitarian aid? Judging by the outcomes of the recent G8
summit in Germany a long way is still to go.
These are some of the political challenges on the eve of the EU Africa summit. Taking into account latest developments in governance, security, energy, trade and economic development between the EU and African countries the international conference aims to shed light on existing obstacles and political challenges a new vision for EU-Africa-relations faces as they appear from
