lpv:translated text	"The Cotonou Agreement provides for the conclusion of economic partnership agreements between members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States and the EU and its Member States. Detailed conditions were set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, the so-called Market Access Regulation. This regulation governs the EU import regime for the 36 ACP countries that initialled economic partnership agreements in 2007. It was a bridging solution for countries that were not yet in a position to apply these EPAs because they were awaiting ratification. Several countries have neither taken the necessary steps towards ratification of an EPA nor concluded comprehensive regional negotiations. The European Commission therefore proposes that those countries which have not yet signed or ratified their agreements should be removed from the list of beneficiaries of this provision. The European Commission argues that the current situation is not compatible with WTO rules, and that it is also a question of fairness, both towards countries which have fulfilled their obligations and ratified their agreements, but also towards developing countries which are not ACP partners."@en1
