EU-Cuba relations : a new chapter begins
Material type:
TextSeries: In-Depth AnalysisPublication details: Policy Department, Directorate-General for External Policies July 2017Description: 31 p. Recurso onlineSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: The Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement (PDCA) between the EU and Cuba, endorsed by the European Parliament (EP) on 5 July 2017, opens a new phase in EUCuba
relations. Until now Cuba was the only country in Latin America without a
cooperation or political dialogue agreement with the EU. The PDCA creates a framework for political dialogue and closer bilateral cooperation, including in trade.
The parts of the agreement (mostly related to cooperation and trade issues) that fall within EU competence can already be applied provisionally, but the agreement will
only enter into force in full after it has been ratified in all the EU Member States. Since negotiations on the PDCA began in 2014, Cuba’s relations with the EU and individual Member States have intensified considerably. For the EU, the PDCA is a tool
for supporting a process of change and modernisation in Cuba, while for Cuba it represents the ‘normalisation’ of the relationship with an important economic and trade partner and helps it to diversify its external relations. Parliament will focus, in monitoring the implementation of the PDCA, on two areas of
particular concern to the EP: human rights and civil liberties on Cuba, and the role of Cuban civil society.
