  PURPOSE: to conclude the Agreement between the EC and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, amending the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: the above-mentioned Agreement between the EC and its Member States and South Africa ('TDCA') entered into force on 1 May 2004. Articles 18 and 103 of the TDCA call for a review of the Agreement within five years of its entry into force. At its meeting of 7 November 2005, the Joint Cooperation Council established the broad lines of the future revision of the TDCA, covering further liberalisation of trade, minor adjustments to the Title on Development Cooperation, updating the wording of several provisions concerning economic cooperation and cooperation in other areas. On that basis, the Commission submitted a proposal for a negotiating mandate in June 2006. In November 2006 the Council adopted a two-tier Decision giving the Commission two mandates. One was to give guidance to the Commission for revising the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation on the basis of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, which gives the Cooperation Council the power to decide on amendments put forward by any Party. The other was to authorise the opening of negotiations between the Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the Republic of South Africa, on the other, to revise the Agreement on matters relating to the political dimension of the Agreement and to justice, freedom and security. However, in the course of the negotiations, for the sake of consistency, both sides agreed to forego the 'lighter' procedure of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, and to negotiate a single Agreement amending the TDCA. Consequently, the Commission negotiated this Agreement on the basis of the combined negotiating directives adopted by the Council, and in consultation with the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Working Party and the Africa Working Group. These two bodies were appointed by the Council, according to their respective responsibilities, as the special committees to assist the Commission in its task. The TDCA negotiations on trade and trade-related matters were suspended pending the outcome of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. Throughout the negotiations, the Commission ensured that due account was taken of the process for implementing the Strategic Partnership between South Africa and the EU. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Community and Member States on 11 September 2009 in Kleinmond, South Africa in accordance with Council Decision 7437/08. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASE: Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218 (6) (a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. CONTENT: following the entry into force of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the EU is substituting the European Community for the approval of the agreement. As stipulated in Article 3 of the Agreement, the Parties shall notify each other of the completion of the corresponding approval procedures and the respective instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU. As established in Article 4, the Amending Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the month in which the Parties notify each other that the necessary procedures have been completed. The current proposal is for a Council Decision concluding the amending agreement. It contains new provisions on terrorism, the International Criminal Court, weapons of mass destruction, mercenaries and small arms. The Commission therefore recommends that the Council adopt the attached Decision. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the proposal has no implications for the Union's budget.

- 07437/2008 summary
  
  The Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, (the "TDCA"), was signed in Pretoria on 11 October 1999, and concluded on 26 April 2004. On 17 November 2006 the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate with South Africa an Agreement between the EC and its Member States, and South Africa amending the TDCA. These negotiations have been concluded to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subject to its possible conclusion at a later stage, it is proposed that the Agreement amending the TDCA should now be signed on behalf of the EC and its Member States. The main amendments to the TDCA are as follows: Multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaty system: since it is important that progress is made in the implementation of all the obligations deriving from this system, the Parties have included a clause in the agreement, which will allow them to cooperate and to have a political dialogue on these issues. Respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the principles of the rule of law, as well as cooperating on issues of disarmament and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction underpin the internal and international policies of the EU and South Africa and constitute essential elements of the agreement. There are new provisions in the TDCA on: Information society and ICTs; Energy cooperation; Maritime transport; Millennium Development Goals; Science and Technology; Culture; Cooperation on Illicit Drugs; Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; Combating terrorism; Money laundering and terrorism financing; Combating Organised Crime; Small arms and light weapons; Mercenaries; International Criminal Court; Cooperation on migration.

activities/1/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old OBJECTIF: conclure un accord modifiant l'accord de commerce, de développement et de coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part. ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part (ou «l'accord CDC»), a été signé à Pretoria le 11 octobre 1999 et est entré en vigueur le 1^er mai 2004. Les articles 18 et 103 de l'accord CDC prévoient que l'accord sera réexaminé dans un délai de cinq ans après son entrée en vigueur. Lors de sa réunion du 7 novembre 2005, le conseil de coopération conjoint a fixé les grandes orientations de la future révision de l'accord CDC. Sur cette base, la Commission a présenté un projet de mandat de négociation en juin 2006. Le 17 novembre 2006, le Conseil a adopté une décision à deux niveaux donnant à la Commission deux mandats. Le premier consistait à donner à la Commission des indications en vue de la révision de l'accord sur la base de l'article 106, par. 1, de l'accord, qui donne au Conseil de coopération la compétence de prendre une décision sur les propositions de modification de toute partie. Le second autorisait l'ouverture de négociations entre la Communauté et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, en vue de la révision de parties de l'accord relatives à sa dimension politique ainsi qu'à la justice, à la liberté et à la sécurité. Dans un souci de cohérence, les deux parties ont toutefois accepté, durant les négociations, de renoncer à la procédure «allégée» de l'article 106, paragraphe 1, de l'accord CDC et de négocier un unique accord modifiant l'accord CDC dans son ensemble. En conséquence, la Commission a négocié cet accord sur la base des directives de négociation combinées adoptées par le Conseil et dans le cadre d'une consultation avec le groupe de travail «Afrique, Caraïbes, Pacifique» (ACP) et le groupe de travail «Afrique». Les négociations de l'accord CDC sur le commerce et les questions liées au commerce ont été suspendues en attendant le résultat des négociations de l'accord de partenariat économique (APE). Tout au long des négociations, la Commission a veillé à ce qu'il soit dûment tenu compte du processus de mise en œuvre du partenariat stratégique entre l'Afrique du Sud et l'UE. Les négociations se sont achevées le 10 octobre 2007. Le 1^er avril 2008, le Conseil a adopté une décision concernant la signature de l'accord modificatif. Conformément à cette décision du Conseil, l'accord a ensuite été signé au nom de la Communauté et de ses États membres le 11 septembre 2009 à Kleinmond, en Afrique du Sud, et fait l'objet de la présente proposition. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 217, en liaison avec son article 218, paragraphe 6, point a) du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : suite à l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, l'Union européenne se substitue à la Communauté européenne pour l'approbation de l'accord. Comme le prévoit l'article 3 de l'accord, les parties se notifient mutuellement l'achèvement des procédures d'approbation correspondantes, et les instruments de ratification respectifs sont déposés auprès du Secrétariat général du Conseil de l'Union européenne. La proposition concerne une décision du Conseil portant conclusion de l'accord modificatif. Les principales dispositions de l'accord portent sur : l'actualisation de plusieurs dispositions concernant la coopération dans plusieurs domaines, l'ajout de nouvelles dispositions sur des sujets tels que le terrorisme, la Cour pénale internationale, les armes de destruction massive, les mercenaires et les armes de petit calibre. INCIDENCE BUDGÉTAIRE : la proposition n'a pas d'incidence sur le budget de l'UE. New PURPOSE: to conclude the Agreement between the EC and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, amending the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation.

activities/0/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old The European Parliament adopted by 521 votes to 4, with 26 abstentions, a legislative resolution in which it gives its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and of South Africa, of the other part, amending the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation. New OBJECTIF: conclure un accord modifiant l'accord de commerce, de développement et de coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part. ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part (ou «l'accord CDC»), a été signé à Pretoria le 11 octobre 1999 et est entré en vigueur le 1^er mai 2004. Les articles 18 et 103 de l'accord CDC prévoient que l'accord sera réexaminé dans un délai de cinq ans après son entrée en vigueur. Lors de sa réunion du 7 novembre 2005, le conseil de coopération conjoint a fixé les grandes orientations de la future révision de l'accord CDC. Sur cette base, la Commission a présenté un projet de mandat de négociation en juin 2006. Le 17 novembre 2006, le Conseil a adopté une décision à deux niveaux donnant à la Commission deux mandats. Le premier consistait à donner à la Commission des indications en vue de la révision de l'accord sur la base de l'article 106, par. 1, de l'accord, qui donne au Conseil de coopération la compétence de prendre une décision sur les propositions de modification de toute partie. Le second autorisait l'ouverture de négociations entre la Communauté et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, en vue de la révision de parties de l'accord relatives à sa dimension politique ainsi qu'à la justice, à la liberté et à la sécurité. Dans un souci de cohérence, les deux parties ont toutefois accepté, durant les négociations, de renoncer à la procédure «allégée» de l'article 106, paragraphe 1, de l'accord CDC et de négocier un unique accord modifiant l'accord CDC dans son ensemble. En conséquence, la Commission a négocié cet accord sur la base des directives de négociation combinées adoptées par le Conseil et dans le cadre d'une consultation avec le groupe de travail «Afrique, Caraïbes, Pacifique» (ACP) et le groupe de travail «Afrique». Les négociations de l'accord CDC sur le commerce et les questions liées au commerce ont été suspendues en attendant le résultat des négociations de l'accord de partenariat économique (APE). Tout au long des négociations, la Commission a veillé à ce qu'il soit dûment tenu compte du processus de mise en œuvre du partenariat stratégique entre l'Afrique du Sud et l'UE. Les négociations se sont achevées le 10 octobre 2007. Le 1^er avril 2008, le Conseil a adopté une décision concernant la signature de l'accord modificatif. Conformément à cette décision du Conseil, l'accord a ensuite été signé au nom de la Communauté et de ses États membres le 11 septembre 2009 à Kleinmond, en Afrique du Sud, et fait l'objet de la présente proposition. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 217, en liaison avec son article 218, paragraphe 6, point a) du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : suite à l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, l'Union européenne se substitue à la Communauté européenne pour l'approbation de l'accord. Comme le prévoit l'article 3 de l'accord, les parties se notifient mutuellement l'achèvement des procédures d'approbation correspondantes, et les instruments de ratification respectifs sont déposés auprès du Secrétariat général du Conseil de l'Union européenne. La proposition concerne une décision du Conseil portant conclusion de l'accord modificatif. Les principales dispositions de l'accord portent sur : l'actualisation de plusieurs dispositions concernant la coopération dans plusieurs domaines, l'ajout de nouvelles dispositions sur des sujets tels que le terrorisme, la Cour pénale internationale, les armes de destruction massive, les mercenaires et les armes de petit calibre. INCIDENCE BUDGÉTAIRE : la proposition n'a pas d'incidence sur le budget de l'UE.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: the above-mentioned Agreement between the EC and its Member States and South Africa ('TDCA') entered into force on 1 May 2004. Articles 18 and 103 of the TDCA call for a review of the Agreement within five years of its entry into force. At its meeting of 7 November 2005, the Joint Cooperation Council established the broad lines of the future revision of the TDCA, covering further liberalisation of trade, minor adjustments to the Title on Development Cooperation, updating the wording of several provisions concerning economic cooperation and cooperation in other areas. On that basis, the Commission submitted a proposal for a negotiating mandate in June 2006. In November 2006 the Council adopted a two-tier Decision giving the Commission two mandates. One was to give guidance to the Commission for revising the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation on the basis of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, which gives the Cooperation Council the power to decide on amendments put forward by any Party. The other was to authorise the opening of negotiations between the Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the Republic of South Africa, on the other, to revise the Agreement on matters relating to the political dimension of the Agreement and to justice, freedom and security. However, in the course of the negotiations, for the sake of consistency, both sides agreed to forego the 'lighter' procedure of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, and to negotiate a single Agreement amending the TDCA. Consequently, the Commission negotiated this Agreement on the basis of the combined negotiating directives adopted by the Council, and in consultation with the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Working Party and the Africa Working Group. These two bodies were appointed by the Council, according to their respective responsibilities, as the special committees to assist the Commission in its task. The TDCA negotiations on trade and trade-related matters were suspended pending the outcome of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. Throughout the negotiations, the Commission ensured that due account was taken of the process for implementing the Strategic Partnership between South Africa and the EU. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Community and Member States on 11 September 2009 in Kleinmond, South Africa in accordance with Council Decision 7437/08. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASE: Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218 (6) (a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. CONTENT: following the entry into force of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the EU is substituting the European Community for the approval of the agreement. As stipulated in Article 3 of the Agreement, the Parties shall notify each other of the completion of the corresponding approval procedures and the respective instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU. As established in Article 4, the Amending Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the month in which the Parties notify each other that the necessary procedures have been completed. The current proposal is for a Council Decision concluding the amending agreement. It contains new provisions on terrorism, the International Criminal Court, weapons of mass destruction, mercenaries and small arms. The Commission therefore recommends that the Council adopt the attached Decision. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the proposal has no implications for the Union's budget. celexid CELEX:52010PC0220:EN type Initial legislative proposal published title COM(2010)0220 body EC commission DG Development Commissioner PIEBALGS Andris type Initial legislative proposal

activities/1/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old The Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, (the "TDCA"), was signed in Pretoria on 11 October 1999, and concluded on 26 April 2004. On 17 November 2006 the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate with South Africa an Agreement between the EC and its Member States, and South Africa amending the TDCA. These negotiations have been concluded to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subject to its possible conclusion at a later stage, it is proposed that the Agreement amending the TDCA should now be signed on behalf of the EC and its Member States. The main amendments to the TDCA are as follows: Multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaty system: since it is important that progress is made in the implementation of all the obligations deriving from this system, the Parties have included a clause in the agreement, which will allow them to cooperate and to have a political dialogue on these issues. Respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the principles of the rule of law, as well as cooperating on issues of disarmament and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction underpin the internal and international policies of the EU and South Africa and constitute essential elements of the agreement. There are new provisions in the TDCA on: Information society and ICTs; Energy cooperation; Maritime transport; Millennium Development Goals; Science and Technology; Culture; Cooperation on Illicit Drugs; Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; Combating terrorism; Money laundering and terrorism financing; Combating Organised Crime; Small arms and light weapons; Mercenaries; International Criminal Court; Cooperation on migration.

L'article 3 de l'accord prévoit que celui-ci doit être approuvé par l'Union européenne, par les États membres et par l'Afrique du Sud selon les procédures qui leur sont propres. À la suite de l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne le 1^er décembre 2009, l'Union européenne doit notifier à l'Afrique du Sud que l'Union européenne se substitue et succède à la Communauté européenne. Il convient en conséquence, d'approuver l'accord, au nom de l'Union européenne. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 217, en liaison avec son article 218, paragraphe 6, point a) du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE).

Pour connaître le contenu matériel de l'accord se reporter au résumé du document annexé à la procédure daté du 01/04/2008. La proposition de décision précise par ailleurs qu'à la suite de l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, le 1^er décembre 2009, l'Union européenne se substitue et succède à la Communauté européenne et, à compter de cette date, exerce tous les droits et assume toutes les obligations de la Communauté européenne.

activities/0/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old The Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, (the "TDCA"), was signed in Pretoria on 11 October 1999, and concluded on 26 April 2004. On 17 November 2006 the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate with South Africa an Agreement between the EC and its Member States, and South Africa amending the TDCA. These negotiations have been concluded to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subject to its possible conclusion at a later stage, it is proposed that the Agreement amending the TDCA should now be signed on behalf of the EC and its Member States. The main amendments to the TDCA are as follows: Multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaty system: since it is important that progress is made in the implementation of all the obligations deriving from this system, the Parties have included a clause in the agreement, which will allow them to cooperate and to have a political dialogue on these issues. Respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the principles of the rule of law, as well as cooperating on issues of disarmament and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction underpin the internal and international policies of the EU and South Africa and constitute essential elements of the agreement. There are new provisions in the TDCA on: Information society and ICTs; Energy cooperation; Maritime transport; Millennium Development Goals; Science and Technology; Culture; Cooperation on Illicit Drugs; Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; Combating terrorism; Money laundering and terrorism financing; Combating Organised Crime; Small arms and light weapons; Mercenaries; International Criminal Court; Cooperation on migration.

activities/1/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old PURPOSE: to conclude the Agreement between the EC and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, amending the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: the above-mentioned Agreement between the EC and its Member States and South Africa ('TDCA') entered into force on 1 May 2004. Articles 18 and 103 of the TDCA call for a review of the Agreement within five years of its entry into force. At its meeting of 7 November 2005, the Joint Cooperation Council established the broad lines of the future revision of the TDCA, covering further liberalisation of trade, minor adjustments to the Title on Development Cooperation, updating the wording of several provisions concerning economic cooperation and cooperation in other areas. On that basis, the Commission submitted a proposal for a negotiating mandate in June 2006. In November 2006 the Council adopted a two-tier Decision giving the Commission two mandates. One was to give guidance to the Commission for revising the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation on the basis of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, which gives the Cooperation Council the power to decide on amendments put forward by any Party. The other was to authorise the opening of negotiations between the Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the Republic of South Africa, on the other, to revise the Agreement on matters relating to the political dimension of the Agreement and to justice, freedom and security. However, in the course of the negotiations, for the sake of consistency, both sides agreed to forego the 'lighter' procedure of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, and to negotiate a single Agreement amending the TDCA. Consequently, the Commission negotiated this Agreement on the basis of the combined negotiating directives adopted by the Council, and in consultation with the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Working Party and the Africa Working Group. These two bodies were appointed by the Council, according to their respective responsibilities, as the special committees to assist the Commission in its task. The TDCA negotiations on trade and trade-related matters were suspended pending the outcome of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. Throughout the negotiations, the Commission ensured that due account was taken of the process for implementing the Strategic Partnership between South Africa and the EU. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Community and Member States on 11 September 2009 in Kleinmond, South Africa in accordance with Council Decision 7437/08. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASE: Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218 (6) (a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. CONTENT: following the entry into force of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the EU is substituting the European Community for the approval of the agreement. As stipulated in Article 3 of the Agreement, the Parties shall notify each other of the completion of the corresponding approval procedures and the respective instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU. As established in Article 4, the Amending Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the month in which the Parties notify each other that the necessary procedures have been completed. The current proposal is for a Council Decision concluding the amending agreement. It contains new provisions on terrorism, the International Criminal Court, weapons of mass destruction, mercenaries and small arms. The Commission therefore recommends that the Council adopt the attached Decision. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the proposal has no implications for the Union's budget.

ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part (ou «l'accord CDC»), a été signé à Pretoria le 11 octobre 1999 et est entré en vigueur le 1^er mai 2004. Les articles 18 et 103 de l'accord CDC prévoient que l'accord sera réexaminé dans un délai de cinq ans après son entrée en vigueur. Lors de sa réunion du 7 novembre 2005, le conseil de coopération conjoint a fixé les grandes orientations de la future révision de l'accord CDC. Sur cette base, la Commission a présenté un projet de mandat de négociation en juin 2006. Le 17 novembre 2006, le Conseil a adopté une décision à deux niveaux donnant à la Commission deux mandats. Le premier consistait à donner à la Commission des indications en vue de la révision de l'accord sur la base de l'article 106, par. 1, de l'accord, qui donne au Conseil de coopération la compétence de prendre une décision sur les propositions de modification de toute partie. Le second autorisait l'ouverture de négociations entre la Communauté et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, en vue de la révision de parties de l'accord relatives à sa dimension politique ainsi qu'à la justice, à la liberté et à la sécurité. Dans un souci de cohérence, les deux parties ont toutefois accepté, durant les négociations, de renoncer à la procédure «allégée» de l'article 106, paragraphe 1, de l'accord CDC et de négocier un unique accord modifiant l'accord CDC dans son ensemble. En conséquence, la Commission a négocié cet accord sur la base des directives de négociation combinées adoptées par le Conseil et dans le cadre d'une consultation avec le groupe de travail «Afrique, Caraïbes, Pacifique» (ACP) et le groupe de travail «Afrique». Les négociations de l'accord CDC sur le commerce et les questions liées au commerce ont été suspendues en attendant le résultat des négociations de l'accord de partenariat économique (APE). Tout au long des négociations, la Commission a veillé à ce qu'il soit dûment tenu compte du processus de mise en œuvre du partenariat stratégique entre l'Afrique du Sud et l'UE. Les négociations se sont achevées le 10 octobre 2007. Le 1^er avril 2008, le Conseil a adopté une décision concernant la signature de l'accord modificatif. Conformément à cette décision du Conseil, l'accord a ensuite été signé au nom de la Communauté et de ses États membres le 11 septembre 2009 à Kleinmond, en Afrique du Sud, et fait l'objet de la présente proposition. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 217, en liaison avec son article 218, paragraphe 6, point a) du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : suite à l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, l'Union européenne se substitue à la Communauté européenne pour l'approbation de l'accord. Comme le prévoit l'article 3 de l'accord, les parties se notifient mutuellement l'achèvement des procédures d'approbation correspondantes, et les instruments de ratification respectifs sont déposés auprès du Secrétariat général du Conseil de l'Union européenne. La proposition concerne une décision du Conseil portant conclusion de l'accord modificatif. Les principales dispositions de l'accord portent sur : l'actualisation de plusieurs dispositions concernant la coopération dans plusieurs domaines, l'ajout de nouvelles dispositions sur des sujets tels que le terrorisme, la Cour pénale internationale, les armes de destruction massive, les mercenaires et les armes de petit calibre.

activities/1/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old PURPOSE: to conclude the Agreement between the EC and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, amending the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: the above-mentioned Agreement between the EC and its Member States and South Africa ('TDCA') entered into force on 1 May 2004. Articles 18 and 103 of the TDCA call for a review of the Agreement within five years of its entry into force. At its meeting of 7 November 2005, the Joint Cooperation Council established the broad lines of the future revision of the TDCA, covering further liberalisation of trade, minor adjustments to the Title on Development Cooperation, updating the wording of several provisions concerning economic cooperation and cooperation in other areas. On that basis, the Commission submitted a proposal for a negotiating mandate in June 2006. In November 2006 the Council adopted a two-tier Decision giving the Commission two mandates. One was to give guidance to the Commission for revising the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation on the basis of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, which gives the Cooperation Council the power to decide on amendments put forward by any Party. The other was to authorise the opening of negotiations between the Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the Republic of South Africa, on the other, to revise the Agreement on matters relating to the political dimension of the Agreement and to justice, freedom and security. However, in the course of the negotiations, for the sake of consistency, both sides agreed to forego the 'lighter' procedure of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, and to negotiate a single Agreement amending the TDCA. Consequently, the Commission negotiated this Agreement on the basis of the combined negotiating directives adopted by the Council, and in consultation with the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Working Party and the Africa Working Group. These two bodies were appointed by the Council, according to their respective responsibilities, as the special committees to assist the Commission in its task. The TDCA negotiations on trade and trade-related matters were suspended pending the outcome of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. Throughout the negotiations, the Commission ensured that due account was taken of the process for implementing the Strategic Partnership between South Africa and the EU. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Community and Member States on 11 September 2009 in Kleinmond, South Africa in accordance with Council Decision 7437/08. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASE: Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218 (6) (a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. CONTENT: following the entry into force of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the EU is substituting the European Community for the approval of the agreement. As stipulated in Article 3 of the Agreement, the Parties shall notify each other of the completion of the corresponding approval procedures and the respective instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU. As established in Article 4, the Amending Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the month in which the Parties notify each other that the necessary procedures have been completed. The current proposal is for a Council Decision concluding the amending agreement. It contains new provisions on terrorism, the International Criminal Court, weapons of mass destruction, mercenaries and small arms. The Commission therefore recommends that the Council adopt the attached Decision. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the proposal has no implications for the Union's budget. New OBJECTIF: conclure un accord modifiant l'accord de commerce, de développement et de coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part. ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : l'accord entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, modifiant l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération a été signé au nom de la Communauté et des États membres le 11 septembre 2009 à Kleinmond, en Afrique du Sud. L'article 3 de l'accord prévoit que celui-ci doit être approuvé par l'Union européenne, par les États membres et par l'Afrique du Sud selon les procédures qui leur sont propres. À la suite de l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne le 1^er décembre 2009, l'Union européenne doit notifier à l'Afrique du Sud que l'Union européenne se substitue et succède à la Communauté européenne. Il convient en conséquence, d'approuver l'accord, au nom de l'Union européenne. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 217, en liaison avec son article 218, paragraphe 6, point a) du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : la présente proposition de décision vise à approuver au nom de l'Union européenne, l'accord entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, modifiant l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération avec l'Afrique du Sud. Pour connaître le contenu matériel de l'accord se reporter au résumé du document annexé à la procédure daté du 01/04/2008. La proposition de décision précise par ailleurs qu'à la suite de l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, le 1^er décembre 2009, l'Union européenne se substitue et succède à la Communauté européenne et, à compter de cette date, exerce tous les droits et assume toutes les obligations de la Communauté européenne. Par conséquent, les références à la 'Communauté européenne' dans le texte de l'accord devront s'entendre comme faites à l''Union européenne'. INCIDENCE BUDGÉTAIRE : la proposition n'a pas d'incidence sur le budget de l'UE.

On 17 November 2006 the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate with South Africa an Agreement between the EC and its Member States, and South Africa amending the TDCA. These negotiations have been concluded to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subject to its possible conclusion at a later stage, it is proposed that the Agreement amending the TDCA should now be signed on behalf of the EC and its Member States. The main amendments to the TDCA are as follows: Multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaty system: since it is important that progress is made in the implementation of all the obligations deriving from this system, the Parties have included a clause in the agreement, which will allow them to cooperate and to have a political dialogue on these issues. Respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the principles of the rule of law, as well as cooperating on issues of disarmament and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction underpin the internal and international policies of the EU and South Africa and constitute essential elements of the agreement. There are new provisions in the TDCA on: Information society and ICTs; Energy cooperation; Maritime transport; Millennium Development Goals; Science and Technology; Culture; Cooperation on Illicit Drugs; Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; Combating terrorism; Money laundering and terrorism financing; Combating Organised Crime; Small arms and light weapons; Mercenaries; International Criminal Court; Cooperation on migration. type Document attached to the procedure title 07437/2008

On 17 November 2006 the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate with South Africa an Agreement between the EC and its Member States, and South Africa amending the TDCA. These negotiations have been concluded to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subject to its possible conclusion at a later stage, it is proposed that the Agreement amending the TDCA should now be signed on behalf of the EC and its Member States. The main amendments to the TDCA are as follows: Multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaty system: since it is important that progress is made in the implementation of all the obligations deriving from this system, the Parties have included a clause in the agreement, which will allow them to cooperate and to have a political dialogue on these issues. Respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the principles of the rule of law, as well as cooperating on issues of disarmament and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction underpin the internal and international policies of the EU and South Africa and constitute essential elements of the agreement. There are new provisions in the TDCA on: Information society and ICTs; Energy cooperation; Maritime transport; Millennium Development Goals; Science and Technology; Culture; Cooperation on Illicit Drugs; Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; Combating terrorism; Money laundering and terrorism financing; Combating Organised Crime; Small arms and light weapons; Mercenaries; International Criminal Court; Cooperation on migration. type Document attached to the procedure title 07437/2008 body CSL type Document attached to the procedure

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: the above-mentioned Agreement between the EC and its Member States and South Africa ('TDCA') entered into force on 1 May 2004. Articles 18 and 103 of the TDCA call for a review of the Agreement within five years of its entry into force. At its meeting of 7 November 2005, the Joint Cooperation Council established the broad lines of the future revision of the TDCA, covering further liberalisation of trade, minor adjustments to the Title on Development Cooperation, updating the wording of several provisions concerning economic cooperation and cooperation in other areas. On that basis, the Commission submitted a proposal for a negotiating mandate in June 2006. In November 2006 the Council adopted a two-tier Decision giving the Commission two mandates. One was to give guidance to the Commission for revising the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation on the basis of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, which gives the Cooperation Council the power to decide on amendments put forward by any Party. The other was to authorise the opening of negotiations between the Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the Republic of South Africa, on the other, to revise the Agreement on matters relating to the political dimension of the Agreement and to justice, freedom and security. However, in the course of the negotiations, for the sake of consistency, both sides agreed to forego the 'lighter' procedure of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, and to negotiate a single Agreement amending the TDCA. Consequently, the Commission negotiated this Agreement on the basis of the combined negotiating directives adopted by the Council, and in consultation with the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Working Party and the Africa Working Group. These two bodies were appointed by the Council, according to their respective responsibilities, as the special committees to assist the Commission in its task. The TDCA negotiations on trade and trade-related matters were suspended pending the outcome of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. Throughout the negotiations, the Commission ensured that due account was taken of the process for implementing the Strategic Partnership between South Africa and the EU. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Community and Member States on 11 September 2009 in Kleinmond, South Africa in accordance with Council Decision 7437/08. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASE: Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218 (6) (a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. CONTENT: following the entry into force of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the EU is substituting the European Community for the approval of the agreement. As stipulated in Article 3 of the Agreement, the Parties shall notify each other of the completion of the corresponding approval procedures and the respective instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU. As established in Article 4, the Amending Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the month in which the Parties notify each other that the necessary procedures have been completed. The current proposal is for a Council Decision concluding the amending agreement. It contains new provisions on terrorism, the International Criminal Court, weapons of mass destruction, mercenaries and small arms. The Commission therefore recommends that the Council adopt the attached Decision. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the proposal has no implications for the Union's budget. celexid CELEX:52010PC0220:EN type Initial legislative proposal published title COM(2010)0220 type Initial legislative proposal body EC commission DG Development Commissioner PIEBALGS Andris

ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part (ou «l'accord CDC»), a été signé à Pretoria le 11 octobre 1999 et est entré en vigueur le 1^er mai 2004. Les articles 18 et 103 de l'accord CDC prévoient que l'accord sera réexaminé dans un délai de cinq ans après son entrée en vigueur. Lors de sa réunion du 7 novembre 2005, le conseil de coopération conjoint a fixé les grandes orientations de la future révision de l'accord CDC. Sur cette base, la Commission a présenté un projet de mandat de négociation en juin 2006. Le 17 novembre 2006, le Conseil a adopté une décision à deux niveaux donnant à la Commission deux mandats. Le premier consistait à donner à la Commission des indications en vue de la révision de l'accord sur la base de l'article 106, par. 1, de l'accord, qui donne au Conseil de coopération la compétence de prendre une décision sur les propositions de modification de toute partie. Le second autorisait l'ouverture de négociations entre la Communauté et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, en vue de la révision de parties de l'accord relatives à sa dimension politique ainsi qu'à la justice, à la liberté et à la sécurité. Dans un souci de cohérence, les deux parties ont toutefois accepté, durant les négociations, de renoncer à la procédure «allégée» de l'article 106, paragraphe 1, de l'accord CDC et de négocier un unique accord modifiant l'accord CDC dans son ensemble. En conséquence, la Commission a négocié cet accord sur la base des directives de négociation combinées adoptées par le Conseil et dans le cadre d'une consultation avec le groupe de travail «Afrique, Caraïbes, Pacifique» (ACP) et le groupe de travail «Afrique». Les négociations de l'accord CDC sur le commerce et les questions liées au commerce ont été suspendues en attendant le résultat des négociations de l'accord de partenariat économique (APE). Tout au long des négociations, la Commission a veillé à ce qu'il soit dûment tenu compte du processus de mise en œuvre du partenariat stratégique entre l'Afrique du Sud et l'UE. Les négociations se sont achevées le 10 octobre 2007. Le 1^er avril 2008, le Conseil a adopté une décision concernant la signature de l'accord modificatif. Conformément à cette décision du Conseil, l'accord a ensuite été signé au nom de la Communauté et de ses États membres le 11 septembre 2009 à Kleinmond, en Afrique du Sud, et fait l'objet de la présente proposition. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 217, en liaison avec son article 218, paragraphe 6, point a) du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : suite à l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, l'Union européenne se substitue à la Communauté européenne pour l'approbation de l'accord. Comme le prévoit l'article 3 de l'accord, les parties se notifient mutuellement l'achèvement des procédures d'approbation correspondantes, et les instruments de ratification respectifs sont déposés auprès du Secrétariat général du Conseil de l'Union européenne. La proposition concerne une décision du Conseil portant conclusion de l'accord modificatif. Les principales dispositions de l'accord portent sur : l'actualisation de plusieurs dispositions concernant la coopération dans plusieurs domaines, l'ajout de nouvelles dispositions sur des sujets tels que le terrorisme, la Cour pénale internationale, les armes de destruction massive, les mercenaires et les armes de petit calibre.

ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part (ou «l'accord CDC»), a été signé à Pretoria le 11 octobre 1999 et est entré en vigueur le 1^er mai 2004. Les articles 18 et 103 de l'accord CDC prévoient que l'accord sera réexaminé dans un délai de cinq ans après son entrée en vigueur. Lors de sa réunion du 7 novembre 2005, le conseil de coopération conjoint a fixé les grandes orientations de la future révision de l'accord CDC. Sur cette base, la Commission a présenté un projet de mandat de négociation en juin 2006. Le 17 novembre 2006, le Conseil a adopté une décision à deux niveaux donnant à la Commission deux mandats. Le premier consistait à donner à la Commission des indications en vue de la révision de l'accord sur la base de l'article 106, par. 1, de l'accord, qui donne au Conseil de coopération la compétence de prendre une décision sur les propositions de modification de toute partie. Le second autorisait l'ouverture de négociations entre la Communauté et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, en vue de la révision de parties de l'accord relatives à sa dimension politique ainsi qu'à la justice, à la liberté et à la sécurité. Dans un souci de cohérence, les deux parties ont toutefois accepté, durant les négociations, de renoncer à la procédure «allégée» de l'article 106, paragraphe 1, de l'accord CDC et de négocier un unique accord modifiant l'accord CDC dans son ensemble. En conséquence, la Commission a négocié cet accord sur la base des directives de négociation combinées adoptées par le Conseil et dans le cadre d'une consultation avec le groupe de travail «Afrique, Caraïbes, Pacifique» (ACP) et le groupe de travail «Afrique». Les négociations de l'accord CDC sur le commerce et les questions liées au commerce ont été suspendues en attendant le résultat des négociations de l'accord de partenariat économique (APE). Tout au long des négociations, la Commission a veillé à ce qu'il soit dûment tenu compte du processus de mise en œuvre du partenariat stratégique entre l'Afrique du Sud et l'UE. Les négociations se sont achevées le 10 octobre 2007. Le 1^er avril 2008, le Conseil a adopté une décision concernant la signature de l'accord modificatif. Conformément à cette décision du Conseil, l'accord a ensuite été signé au nom de la Communauté et de ses États membres le 11 septembre 2009 à Kleinmond, en Afrique du Sud, et fait l'objet de la présente proposition. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 217, en liaison avec son article 218, paragraphe 6, point a) du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : suite à l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, l'Union européenne se substitue à la Communauté européenne pour l'approbation de l'accord. Comme le prévoit l'article 3 de l'accord, les parties se notifient mutuellement l'achèvement des procédures d'approbation correspondantes, et les instruments de ratification respectifs sont déposés auprès du Secrétariat général du Conseil de l'Union européenne. La proposition concerne une décision du Conseil portant conclusion de l'accord modificatif. Les principales dispositions de l'accord portent sur : l'actualisation de plusieurs dispositions concernant la coopération dans plusieurs domaines, l'ajout de nouvelles dispositions sur des sujets tels que le terrorisme, la Cour pénale internationale, les armes de destruction massive, les mercenaires et les armes de petit calibre. INCIDENCE BUDGÉTAIRE : la proposition n'a pas d'incidence sur le budget de l'UE. celexid CELEX:52010PC0220:EN type Publication de la proposition législative initiale title COM(2010)0220

activities/1/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old PURPOSE: to conclude the Agreement between the EC and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, amending the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: the above-mentioned Agreement between the EC and its Member States and South Africa ('TDCA') entered into force on 1 May 2004. Articles 18 and 103 of the TDCA call for a review of the Agreement within five years of its entry into force. At its meeting of 7 November 2005, the Joint Cooperation Council established the broad lines of the future revision of the TDCA, covering further liberalisation of trade, minor adjustments to the Title on Development Cooperation, updating the wording of several provisions concerning economic cooperation and cooperation in other areas. On that basis, the Commission submitted a proposal for a negotiating mandate in June 2006. In November 2006 the Council adopted a two-tier Decision giving the Commission two mandates. One was to give guidance to the Commission for revising the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation on the basis of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, which gives the Cooperation Council the power to decide on amendments put forward by any Party. The other was to authorise the opening of negotiations between the Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the Republic of South Africa, on the other, to revise the Agreement on matters relating to the political dimension of the Agreement and to justice, freedom and security. However, in the course of the negotiations, for the sake of consistency, both sides agreed to forego the 'lighter' procedure of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, and to negotiate a single Agreement amending the TDCA. Consequently, the Commission negotiated this Agreement on the basis of the combined negotiating directives adopted by the Council, and in consultation with the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Working Party and the Africa Working Group. These two bodies were appointed by the Council, according to their respective responsibilities, as the special committees to assist the Commission in its task. The TDCA negotiations on trade and trade-related matters were suspended pending the outcome of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. Throughout the negotiations, the Commission ensured that due account was taken of the process for implementing the Strategic Partnership between South Africa and the EU. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Community and Member States on 11 September 2009 in Kleinmond, South Africa in accordance with Council Decision 7437/08. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASE: Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218 (6) (a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. CONTENT: following the entry into force of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the EU is substituting the European Community for the approval of the agreement. As stipulated in Article 3 of the Agreement, the Parties shall notify each other of the completion of the corresponding approval procedures and the respective instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU. As established in Article 4, the Amending Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the month in which the Parties notify each other that the necessary procedures have been completed. The current proposal is for a Council Decision concluding the amending agreement. It contains new provisions on terrorism, the International Criminal Court, weapons of mass destruction, mercenaries and small arms. The Commission therefore recommends that the Council adopt the attached Decision. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the proposal has no implications for the Union's budget. New OBJECTIF: conclure un accord modifiant l'accord de commerce, de développement et de coopération entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part. ACTE PROPOSÉ : Décision du Conseil. CONTEXTE : l'accord entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, modifiant l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération a été signé au nom de la Communauté et des États membres le 11 septembre 2009 à Kleinmond, en Afrique du Sud. L'article 3 de l'accord prévoit que celui-ci doit être approuvé par l'Union européenne, par les États membres et par l'Afrique du Sud selon les procédures qui leur sont propres. À la suite de l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne le 1^er décembre 2009, l'Union européenne doit notifier à l'Afrique du Sud que l'Union européenne se substitue et succède à la Communauté européenne. Il convient en conséquence, d'approuver l'accord, au nom de l'Union européenne. ANALYSE D'IMPACT : aucune analyse d'impact n'a été réalisée. BASE JURIDIQUE : article 217, en liaison avec son article 218, paragraphe 6, point a) du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : la présente proposition de décision vise à approuver au nom de l'Union européenne, l'accord entre la Communauté européenne et ses États membres, d'une part, et l'Afrique du Sud, d'autre part, modifiant l'accord sur le commerce, le développement et la coopération avec l'Afrique du Sud. Pour connaître le contenu matériel de l'accord se reporter au résumé du document annexé à la procédure daté du 01/04/2008. La proposition de décision précise par ailleurs qu'à la suite de l'entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, le 1^er décembre 2009, l'Union européenne se substitue et succède à la Communauté européenne et, à compter de cette date, exerce tous les droits et assume toutes les obligations de la Communauté européenne. Par conséquent, les références à la 'Communauté européenne' dans le texte de l'accord devront s'entendre comme faites à l''Union européenne'. INCIDENCE BUDGÉTAIRE : la proposition n'a pas d'incidence sur le budget de l'UE.

On 17 November 2006 the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate with South Africa an Agreement between the EC and its Member States, and South Africa amending the TDCA. These negotiations have been concluded to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subject to its possible conclusion at a later stage, it is proposed that the Agreement amending the TDCA should now be signed on behalf of the EC and its Member States. The main amendments to the TDCA are as follows: Multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaty system: since it is important that progress is made in the implementation of all the obligations deriving from this system, the Parties have included a clause in the agreement, which will allow them to cooperate and to have a political dialogue on these issues. Respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the principles of the rule of law, as well as cooperating on issues of disarmament and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction underpin the internal and international policies of the EU and South Africa and constitute essential elements of the agreement. There are new provisions in the TDCA on: Information society and ICTs; Energy cooperation; Maritime transport; Millennium Development Goals; Science and Technology; Culture; Cooperation on Illicit Drugs; Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; Combating terrorism; Money laundering and terrorism financing; Combating Organised Crime; Small arms and light weapons; Mercenaries; International Criminal Court; Cooperation on migration. type Document attached to the procedure title 07437/2008

Subject to its possible conclusion at a later stage, it is proposed that the Agreement amending the TDCA should now be signed on behalf of the EC and its Member States. The main amendments to the TDCA are as follows: Multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaty system: since it is important that progress is made in the implementation of all the obligations deriving from this system, the Parties have included a clause in the agreement, which will allow them to cooperate and to have a political dialogue on these issues. Respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the principles of the rule of law, as well as cooperating on issues of disarmament and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction underpin the internal and international policies of the EU and South Africa and constitute essential elements of the agreement. There are new provisions in the TDCA on: Information society and ICTs; Energy cooperation; Maritime transport; Millennium Development Goals; Science and Technology; Culture; Cooperation on Illicit Drugs; Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; Combating terrorism; Money laundering and terrorism financing; Combating Organised Crime; Small arms and light weapons; Mercenaries; International Criminal Court; Cooperation on migration. type Document attached to the procedure title 07437/2008 body CSL type Document attached to the procedure

On 17 November 2006 the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate with South Africa an Agreement between the EC and its Member States, and South Africa amending the TDCA. These negotiations have been concluded to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subject to its possible conclusion at a later stage, it is proposed that the Agreement amending the TDCA should now be signed on behalf of the EC and its Member States. The main amendments to the TDCA are as follows: Multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation treaty system: since it is important that progress is made in the implementation of all the obligations deriving from this system, the Parties have included a clause in the agreement, which will allow them to cooperate and to have a political dialogue on these issues. Respect for democratic principles and fundamental human rights as laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the principles of the rule of law, as well as cooperating on issues of disarmament and the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction underpin the internal and international policies of the EU and South Africa and constitute essential elements of the agreement. There are new provisions in the TDCA on: Information society and ICTs; Energy cooperation; Maritime transport; Millennium Development Goals; Science and Technology; Culture; Cooperation on Illicit Drugs; Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery; Combating terrorism; Money laundering and terrorism financing; Combating Organised Crime; Small arms and light weapons; Mercenaries; International Criminal Court; Cooperation on migration. type Document attached to the procedure title 07437/2008 body CSL type Document attached to the procedure date 2010-05-07 docs url http://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!DocNumber&lg=EN&type_doc=COMfinal&an_doc=2010&nu_doc=0220 text PURPOSE: to conclude the Agreement between the EC and its Member States, of the one part, and South Africa, of the other part, amending the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: the above-mentioned Agreement between the EC and its Member States and South Africa ('TDCA') entered into force on 1 May 2004. Articles 18 and 103 of the TDCA call for a review of the Agreement within five years of its entry into force. At its meeting of 7 November 2005, the Joint Cooperation Council established the broad lines of the future revision of the TDCA, covering further liberalisation of trade, minor adjustments to the Title on Development Cooperation, updating the wording of several provisions concerning economic cooperation and cooperation in other areas. On that basis, the Commission submitted a proposal for a negotiating mandate in June 2006. In November 2006 the Council adopted a two-tier Decision giving the Commission two mandates. One was to give guidance to the Commission for revising the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation on the basis of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, which gives the Cooperation Council the power to decide on amendments put forward by any Party. The other was to authorise the opening of negotiations between the Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the Republic of South Africa, on the other, to revise the Agreement on matters relating to the political dimension of the Agreement and to justice, freedom and security. However, in the course of the negotiations, for the sake of consistency, both sides agreed to forego the 'lighter' procedure of Article 106(1) of the TDCA, and to negotiate a single Agreement amending the TDCA. Consequently, the Commission negotiated this Agreement on the basis of the combined negotiating directives adopted by the Council, and in consultation with the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Working Party and the Africa Working Group. These two bodies were appointed by the Council, according to their respective responsibilities, as the special committees to assist the Commission in its task. The TDCA negotiations on trade and trade-related matters were suspended pending the outcome of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. Throughout the negotiations, the Commission ensured that due account was taken of the process for implementing the Strategic Partnership between South Africa and the EU. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Community and Member States on 11 September 2009 in Kleinmond, South Africa in accordance with Council Decision 7437/08. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASE: Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218 (6) (a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. CONTENT: following the entry into force of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the EU is substituting the European Community for the approval of the agreement. As stipulated in Article 3 of the Agreement, the Parties shall notify each other of the completion of the corresponding approval procedures and the respective instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU. As established in Article 4, the Amending Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the month in which the Parties notify each other that the necessary procedures have been completed. The current proposal is for a Council Decision concluding the amending agreement. It contains new provisions on terrorism, the International Criminal Court, weapons of mass destruction, mercenaries and small arms. The Commission therefore recommends that the Council adopt the attached Decision. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the proposal has no implications for the Union's budget. title COM(2010)0220 type Initial legislative proposal published celexid CELEX:52010PC0220:EN type Initial legislative proposal body EC commission DG Development Commissioner PIEBALGS Andris date 2010-06-09 docs url http://register.consilium.europa.eu/servlet/driver?page=Result&lang=EN&typ=Advanced&cmsid=639&ff_COTE_DOCUMENT=10297%2F10&fc=REGAISEN&srm=25&md=100 text PURPOSE: to conclude the Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of South Africa, of the other part, amending the Agreement on Trade, Development and Cooperation.
