The present strategy note is aimed at providing policy directions regarding the postCotonou Africa–European Union trading relationship. It has been prepared to support the deliberations of African Union member States ahead of the fifth African Union–European Union Summit, to be held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire in November 2017. In the strategy note, the following is recommended: a standstill in the Economic Partnership Agreements process to allow for the finalization of the Continental Free Trade Area and a consolidated approach to the Africa–European Union trading relationship going forward. This strategy note is comprised of five sections, including the introduction.
