EP resolution of 23 June 2022 on the future of EU-Africa trade relations

The European Parliament adopted on 23 June 2022 on the future of EU-Africa trade relations. The resolution considers that a full commitment to the EU-AU 'Joint Vision for 2030' is key to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It calls on the EU to help African countries deal with the impact of the pandemic and of the war on Ukraine, debt distress, illicit financial flows and tax evasion. It also calls for stronger EU support for Africa's integration into the global economy, with investments aimed at building robust industry and a sustainable and resilient economy.

EP resolution of 25 March 2021 on a new EU-Africa Strategy – a partnership for sustainable and inclusive development

The European Parliament adopted on 25 March 2021 a resolution on the sustainable and inclusive development aspects of the EU-Africa strategy. It calls for closer cooperation on key areas such as security, agriculture, and health, to better anticipate future health crises. It insists that the future relationship must move away from a donor-recipient dynamic, and give African countries the means to achieve sustainable development, including through fair and ethical trade.

The resolution regrets that EU-Africa relations have been dominated by the migration issue. It suggests that a renewed partnership help devise a fair migration policy, really tackling the root causes of migration and better delivering on an effective visa and legal migration policy. The resolution highlights the need for the new budgetary instrument for external action (NDICI - Global Europe) to dedicate adequate resources, notably to climate objectives.
