Haiti - Politic : Closing of the 34th session of the JPA
At the 34th session of the Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) which ended Wednesday in Port-au-Prince https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-23029-haiti-politic-statement-by-president-moise-at-the-34th-acp-eu-session.html bringing together the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries and the European Union (EU) three reports were approved during the voting session on Wednesday afternoon.

Economy :
The blue economy, a source of economic activity around the seas and oceans, should be sustainable, take into account environmental concerns (pollution), the fragility of the marine environment (overexploitation of resources, mining exploration), the exhaustibility of available resources (overfishing control and the fight against illegal fishing) and aim to improve the livelihoods of coastal or island communities, underline the members.

Health :
There is a need to improve access to basic healthcare and medicines against infectious diseases, in particular by reducing the price of patented products for low-income countries and combating counterfeiting. Members call on the EU and ACP to invest more in healthcare systems for rapid deployment at the front line of public health emergencies (cholera, malaria, Ebola, hepatitis B) and overall improved access to care.

Security :
The interdependence between security and development in EU and ACP policies is widely recognised. Lack of security hinders development agendas, investment and job creation, while lack of development prospects and poverty fuel insecurity and terrorism. These various aspects should be integrated into the post-Cotonou negotiations to increase the impact of European instruments supporting security and development.

Next ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly

The 35th session of the ACP-EU JPA will be held from 18 to 20 June 2018 in an EU country.
