    WRITTEN QUESTION E-0832/98 by Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) to the Commission (26 March 1998)

    Subject: Application of Cuba to join the group of ACP countries under the Lomé Convention

    Can the Commission confirm that Cuba has officially applied to join the group of ACP countries which are signatories to the Lomé Convention?

    Is it appropriate that Cuba should wish to join the group of ACP countries signatories to the Lomé Convention, given that two years ago the Commission stated that it was not possible to sign a bilateral cooperation agreement between the European Union and Cuba?

    Answer given by Mr Marín on behalf of the Commission (7 April 1998)

    The Commission has been informed that the Cuban government has formally applied for membership of the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of countries (ACP) signatory to the Lomé Convention.

    However, the ACP group must first give its opinion on this request. The Lomé Convention partners (ACP and the Community) will then, where appropriate, examine the application jointly in accordance with the objectives and principles laid down in the Convention and with the procedures in force.
