"The Cotonou Agreement provides for the conclusion of economic partnership agreements (EPAs) between members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States and the EU and its Member States, and the detailed arrangements for market access applying as from 1 January 2008 to products from these countries. This regulation governs the EU import regime for the 36 ACP countries that initialled economic partnership agreements in 2007. It was a bridging solution for countries that were not yet in a position to apply these EPAs, awaiting ratification. The regulation basically unilaterally anticipated the duty-free access that the EU offered in these agreements. However, 17 countries have still not ratified the agreements. The Commission therefore proposes that, as of 1 January 2014, these countries should be removed from the list of beneficiaries of this provision. I totally agree with this step to treat the countries benefiting from these exceptional commercial conditions equally."@en1
