The EU-ACP Parliamentary Assembly (JPA), a body established in the Cotonou Agreement
The JPA was created by Article 17 of the Cotonou Agreement, which intends to build a comprehensive partnership between the EU and the ACP States, in the period 2000-2020, based on three pillars: development cooperation, trade and economic cooperation and a political dimension. The JPA is one of three official organs of the process whose primarily advisory role is to:
• promote democratic processes through dialogue and consultation;
• promote better understanding between the peoples of the European Union and the ACP States and raise public awareness of development issues;
• examine issues relating to development and the ACP-EU partnership;
• adopt resolutions and make recommendations to the Council of Ministers in order to achieve the objectives of the agreement.
