AUC
- EC Meeting:
The European Commission and the Commission
of the African Union will meet for a joint working session
at the headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,
on 2 October 2006. This meeting, the third joint session in
three years time, is the latest testimony of an ever growing
partnership between the two continental executive bodies.
For this occasion, the European Commission will hold its first
ever meeting on another continent. The agenda of the meeting
focuses on institutional partnership and development. Both
Commissions will review the progress in implementation of
the EU Strategy for Africa and they will discuss how to better
manage migration flows. They will also exchange experience
in specific areas such as employment, science and technology
or health. In addition both institutions will agree on a support
programme of €55 million for the African Union’s operational
and institutional development and launch the exchange of officials
and trainees between the two institutions.
