"Negotiations between the EU and the Andean Community of Nations for a region-to-region association agreement, including political dialogue, cooperation and trade, were launched in June 2007 following a Council decision to authorise these negotiations in April of the same year. Regrettably, disagreements between Andean countries on approaches to a number of key trade issues covered under the foreseen agreement led to the suspension of talks in June 2008. Under these circumstances, the Commission presented a recommendation to the Council in December 2008 with a view to modifying the existing authorisation so as to continue negotiations of a trade agreement with those countries of the Andean Community that are willing to move ahead. In January 2009, the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate a multi-party trade agreement with those countries sharing our general objective of a balanced, ambitious, comprehensive agreement that satisfies the requirements of the World Trade Organisation. The Presidents of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru confirmed their commitment to negotiate. The negotiations were successfully concluded in May 2010 and, after a phase of legal review, the text of the trade agreement was initialled with Colombia and Peru on 23 March 2011. This is an ambitious, comprehensive and balanced trade agreement that should be signed on behalf of the EU."@en1
