European Commission adopts new framework for co-operation with Paraguay

The European Commission adopted On 2 August 2002 a five-year strategy (2002-2006) for its co-operation with Paraguay. The Country Strategy Paper provides the framework for relations with Paraguay, covering all aspects of assistance towards that country. The chief objective is to support the modernisation of the state, productive development, competitiveness and investments in the framework of the Paraguayan regional integration in Mercosur, human development and poverty reduction. An indicative figure of € 51.7 million has been agreed to support this strategy during the period 2002-2006.
