The Joint Parliamentary Assembly shall be composed of equal numbers of EU and ACP representatives from national parliaments.The role of the Joint Parliamentary Assembly, as a consultative body, is to:
- promote democratic processes through dialogue and consultation;
- facilitate greater understanding between the peoples of the European Union and those of the ACP States and raise public awareness of development issues;
- discuss issues pertaining to development and the ACP-EU Partnership;
- adopt resolutions and make recommendations to the Council of Ministers with a view to achieving the objectives of this Agreement.
The role of the ACP-EU JPA as a political body has been increasing in recent years reflected by a growing number of ACP parliamentarians attending and the substantive debates held. As a result, Belgian Member of European Parliament Alain Hutchinson has drafted a report on the work of the ACP-EU JPA in 2007.
Here is the list of national representatives from ACP countries who participated in the 2008 JPA and whom you can contact to know more about the EU-ACP partnership or to input on it. You can also contact the EU representatives.
This list was created in March 2008, if you know about any change do not hesitate to contact us
