The European Union and Africa held their 3rd Summit in Libya on 29-30 November 2010. Under the overarching theme of 'Investment, Economic Growth and Job Creation', Heads of States and Governments addressed key issues, like peace and security, climate change, regional integration and private sector development, infrastructure and energy, agriculture and food security, migration. The political commitments of the Heads of State and Government were to be translated in the Action Plan (2011-13) which was due to be adopted at the Summit. This action plan was to include concrete actions to strengthen cooperation in the 8 partnerships and would also move into new promising areas. EUObserver reports that African states were ready to abandon ten years of trade talks with the EU as their patience had worn thin in response to what they call 'pressure tactics' on the part of the European Commission. |
