The attached proposal constitutes the legal instrument for the establishment of a Special Committee on Agriculture and Fisheries in the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), signed on 15 October 2008 between the CARIFORUM States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part. The Agreement is provisionally applied as of 29 December 2008. Agriculture and fisheries is an important domain of the Agreement, and according to Article 230(4) of the CARIFORUM-EU EPA, any special committee may be set up in order to deal more efficiently with matters related to the implementation of this Agreement. This special committee on agriculture and fisheries will be composed of representatives of the European Commission, on the one hand, and representatives of the CARIFORUM Directorate and the Signatory CARIFORUM States, on the other. The special committee needs to be established by a decision of the CARIFORUM-EU Trade and Development Committee (composed of representatives of the Parties at senior official level). In this regard, the proposed Council Decision includes as an annex the draft decision agreed by the Parties at the fifth annual meeting of the CARIFORUM-EU Trade and Development Committee that took place in Guyana on 14 July 2015. |
