Summary

The Samoa Agreement, establishing a legal framework for relations between the EU and Members of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), applies from 1 January 2024. The Agreement sets out the commitments of both sides to address global challenges, including economic growth and sustainable development. It focuses on human rights and democracy, peace and security, human/social development, sustainable economic growth, climate change, and migration. The Samoa Agreement is not a trade deal, so does not include trade arrangements such as import duties and quotas. However, it does set out basic principles for trade cooperation.
