ACP ministers met with the EU partners at the joint Council of Ministers level here last week and according to a statement issued following the two days of deliberations, they were “rather pleased with a compromise on the financial envelope of the 11th European Development Fund, and with a step made by the EU on the EPA”.
The ACP said that it welcomed the compromise on the amount of the 11th EDF which will have a financial allocation of Euro 31.5 billion (One Euro =US$1.29 cents) as well as the consensus on the “bridging facility” between the 10th and the 11th EDF.
