Cotonou Agreement

Question

Her Majesty's Government whether they would support future regionalisation of the Pillars of the Cotonou Agreement.

Answer

The UK government has supported calls for a differentiated and more regionalised approach during EU discussions on the successor to the Cotonou agreement. While the future agreement will come into force after our exit from the EU, we remain interested in what will be a major element of the global development architecture and will continue to participate in the discussions while we remain an EU Member State.
