Activities of the ACP-EU Joint Assembly in 2002

The European Parliament adopted a resolution based on its own-initiative report drafted by Joaquim MIRANDA (EUL/NGL, Portugal) on the work of the JPA in 2002. (Please see the document dated 23/04/03.) Parliament also congratulated the JPA Bureau on giving practical effect to the desire to extend its work beyond purely administrative matters and use its meetings also for political discussions, by including on the agenda of its meetings in Rarotonga, Cook Islands, substantive issues concerning the Pacific Region.�
