PACIFIC ACP TRADE MINSTERS’ MEETING Crowne Plaza Hotel, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea 9 August 2011

OUTCOMES DOCUMENT

The Pacific ACP Trade Ministers’ Meeting was held on 9 August 2011, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (PNG). Trade Ministers from the following Pacific ACP (PACP) States were present at the meeting: Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu. The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), PNG, Republic of the Marshall Islands and Vanuatu were represented by Ambassadors and senior officials. PACP Ambassadors and their representatives based in European Union (EU) Member Countries and representatives from the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) and the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) Office were also present at the Meeting. The list of participants is provided as Annex 1.

2. The Meeting was convened by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and was chaired by Honourable Minister Lisiate ‘Akolo, Minister for Labour, Commerce and Industries, Tonga in his capacity as the Lead Spokesperson of the PACP- EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. The objective of the meeting was to consider recent developments in the PACP-EU EPA negotiations, including the outcomes of the PACP Trade Officials’ Meeting (PACPTOM) as summarized in the transmittal letter from the Chair of PACPTOM, with a view to providing further directions to take forward the PACP EPA negotiations.

3. In his opening remarks, Dr. Jimmie Rodgers, Director General of the SPC welcomed the Ministers and urged that the region provide direction to take the PACP-EU EPA negotiations to a conclusion. He said that the EPA must be centered on the objective of reducing and eventually eradicating poverty, consistent with the objectives of sustainable development and the gradual integration of the PACP countries into the world economy. Dr Rodgers said that the completion of negotiations on a comprehensive EPA could take longer than Ministers might prefer, and in this regard it is crucial that the region was strategic in planning and analysing its options. He urged Trade Ministers to take stock of the PACP-EU EPA negotiations thus far, carefully consider the options and recommendations before them, and provide clear policy direction to PACP Regional Negotiating Machinery to take the region 1 PACP EYES ONLY to the conclusion of negotiations.

4. The Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, Tuiloma Neroni Slade, in his introductory remarks said that the European Commission indicated several times that they will not be interested in meeting with the Pacific region or offering the region flexibilities on contentious issues unless the region submitted revised market access offers in the required format. The Secretary General said that eight PACP States had submitted conditional market access offers to the EU, and work continues in the remaining four countries to develop their market access offers. He said that this work should create the necessary conditions for the European Commission to show flexibility on contentious issues. He added that the market access offers submitted by the eight PACPS are conditional on the satisfactory resolution of a number of unresolved contentious issues, including the issue of development cooperation provisions, export taxes, infant industry, standstill clause, the Most- Favoured Nation provisions, the non-execution clause, taxation and governance issues, market access and rules of origin for fisheries products, and other matters of great importance to the Pacific. He said that Ministers would also consider a number of issues related to Aid for Trade, including the establishment of the Pacific Trade and Development Facility and the further development of the Pacific Aid for Trade Strategy.

SESSION 1: PACP MARKET ACCESS OFFERS

5. Ministers considered an update on the progress of the market access offers for the PACP-EU EPA negotiations. Ministers noted that the Forum Secretariat has provided technical assistance to twelve PACPS to convert their tariff codes to use the Harmonised System (HS) 2007 classifications and to gather the recent three year trade data to complete market access offers. Ministers noted that eleven PACPS now have HS 2007 compliant nomenclature and recent trade data.

6. Ministers congratulated Cook Islands, FSM, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu, which have submitted revised draft conditional market access offers to the EU, and thanked the Forum Secretariat for the assistance provided.

Decisions

7. The Pacific ACP Trade Ministers: (i) noted that eight PACPS have submitted draft offers to the EU in the context of a comprehensive EPA, and that the offers are conditional upon satisfactory resolution of the key contentious issues, including global sourcing for products under HS headings 0304/0305; (ii) urged those PACPS that have not already done so to submit their offers to the Secretariat for technical review no later than 20 August 2011 and, once finalised, that draft offers be submitted to the EU no later than 15 September 2011; and (iii) considered options on SAT benchmarks and liberalisation timeframes and agree to share their positions with the EC at an appropriate time in the negotiations, as determined by PACPS.

10. Ministers considered an update on the contentious and outstanding issues in the draft PACP-EU EPA text with a view to re-assessing PACP mandates and strategies.

11.

SESSION 4: KAVA PROPOSALS

13. Ministers considered a proposal on kava submitted by Fiji, FSM, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Tonga.
