Welcomes the Commission’s Communication “Towards a comprehensive Strategy with Africa”
of 9 March and sees it as a step towards a truly geopolitical partnership (EPP 9);

Underlines that Europe and Africa are in close geographical proximity, have strong, historical,
cultural and socio-economic ties, which [AMs 1,7, 8] are being brought ever closer by the increase
in numerous [AM 7] shared challenges and strategic interests, ranging from advancing human
rights and democracy, lifting communities out of poverty and providing decent living conditions
through the provision of economic opportunities, sustainable development or good governance,
and potential of migration for meaningful employment opportunities and development [AMs 1,
2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 41]; strengthening trade and investment relations, security, counter-terrorism,
fighting organized crime and human trafficking, to reforming multilateral institutions and
global trade, environment, food security,  access to water, population growth, urbanisation,
energy issues, advancing public health, access to health care, climate change, [AMs 1, 2, 4, 7,
9, 10, 41]; Emphasises that the EU’s relations with Africa are of utmost importance for the
future of both our continents and that the prosperity of the two continents are intimately linked,
[AM 1], which calls for a holistic [AM 1] continental-African approach that can reconcile these
divergent strands into a comprehensive coherent strategy which will be measured in its output,
monitored and evaluated continuously [AM 8, 74], increased coherence between EU policies
[AM 1], result-oriented  transparent  allocation  [3, 5] of EU resources and a reinvigorated
political alliance [AM 3]; which must go beyond the traditional development and humanitarian
cooperation in order to truly lift our partnership to its full potential [AM9].

148 (Wiseler-Lima);

Underlines that the EU-AU partnership can only be successful if it is truly a partnership of
equals, meaning a more balanced, fairer and meaningful partnership, built on own
responsibility and solidarity and a common vision for our future; reiterates thus its calls for a
true “continent to continent” partnership between the European Union and the Africa Union
[148 EPP];
Recalls that Africa is our closest neighbour, home to over 1 billion people and more than half
of the world’s population growth by 2050 is expected to take place in Africa, while six out of the
ten fastest growing economies in the world are African [AM 48]; Stresses that the EU and its
Member States constitute Africa’s biggest partner on all accounts: investment, trade,
development aid, humanitarian assistance and security; however this increasingly close
cooperation is yet to result in a shared understanding or viable strategic partnership, in line
with shared interests, growth potential, geographical proximity and centuries-old links between
two continents[AM 72]; Underlines that the process of sustainable [AM 20] development on the
African continent is of key importance for the prosperity, stability and security of both the EU and
Africa, which are key conditions for economic and social development for Africans as identified
in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [AMs 19, 20, 22, 24, 85] . Stresses that the EU
21

must be confident in creating a fresh and modern approach to its Africa policy[AM 75] [148]
based on a clear understanding of their respective and mutual interests and responsibilities,
reflecting the comprehensiveness and maturity of their relations [25, 85]; Is of the firm opinion
that our partnership must be based on clear positions and priorities identified by our African
partners and in this light believes that the upcoming 6th AU-EU Summit this fall provides a
timely opportunity to listen to the African partners, to exchange on reciprocal demands and
proposals and to define common objectives in order to enshrine them in the upcoming new
mutually-beneficial joint strategy [AM 26]  which reflects the interests of both sides and
strengthens the ties between the two continents [AM 92].

Stresses the urgent need to step up synergies and coherence between all the legal and political
frameworks on which EU-Africa relations are based on in order to be more effective and
sustainable  [AM 15], with a stronger long-term, multi-faceted and  multi-  sectoral  [AM 13]
partnership, which should also translate into stronger political cooperation and effective
coordination  [AM 13]  built on equality, trust, mutual respect, solidarity, sovereignty, shared
values and a common vision for our future [AMs 40, 44, 85, 148];  in this regard, highlights the
importance of human rights, democracy, peace and security, as well as good governance,
sustainable development, rule of law, free and fair elections, law-based and peaceful transitions
of power in African countries, gender equality, as the necessary foundations for a sustainable,
inclusive and mutually beneficial EU-Africa partnership [AMs 6, 23, 40, 42, 43]; Stresses that
a strong EU-Africa partnership needs a strong African Union, highlights the important role of
the EU in supporting the African Union to exercise its mandate more effectively, in building
peace and security across the continent and in driving the continental integration progress [AM
46]  as well as the institutionalization of the African Union, including the Pan-African
Parliament, through the sharing of best practices as well as technical and financial assistance
[AM 90].
welcomes the proposal for a pan-African programme in the context of the new Neighbourhood,
Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) aimed at addressing the
challenges of the African continent as a whole;  (AM 15, 194)

Reiterates support to Africa [AM 52]  in the undergoing major processes [AMs 57, 58]    of
integration at regional, continental and international levels and notes that Europe and Africa have
a shared interest to cooperate on multilateralism and common challenges that can only be
addressed effectively by working together [AMs 58, 61]; stresses the need to overcome divisions,
22

where they exist, especially in areas of key strategic importance, such as meeting international
standards and practices in trade, human rights, social justice, gender equality, sustainable
development and positioning in international organisations [AM 52, 59, 60) is of the opinion
that  a continent-to-continent holistic partnership should also enable further regionalisation
[AMs 57, 166];  Reiterates its continued support to regional integration and regional
organisations, such as among others ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African State),
CEMAC (The Central African Economic and Monetary Community), EAC (East African
Community), SADC (South Africa Development Community), IGAD (Intergovernmental
Authority on Development) and ECCAS (Economic Community of Central African States), as
well as the ICGLR (International Conference on the Great Lakes Region) (AM54)  Supports
the view that the EU must maintain flexible country-to-country and sub-regional approaches
that tailor its engagement and support to the specific needs and circumstances of each country
within the five regions of Africa [AM 67]; Calls for an update of the various EU regional policies
towards sub regions of Africa, such as North Africa, Gulf of Guinea, Sahel, Great Lakes and
Horn of Africa [AMs 12, 54, 56 57]; regrets the fact that 25 years on from the start of the
Barcelona Process, the creation of an area of shared prosperity, stability and freedom with the
southern neighbourhood countries is still far from being completed; [AM 12]

Welcomes the five partnerships in the proposed new strategy [AM 9, 86)believes that additionally
it should be updated to reflect Africa’s health and economic needs in addressing the COVID-19
crisis [AMs 81]; calls for a strong, constant, ambitious [AM 83] and coherent  [AMs 78, 80] EU
engagement in the security, stability and development of Africa including promoting the green
transition and energy access, digital transformation, sustainable growth and jobs, peace and
governance, and a balanced and comprehensive approach to migration and mobility [AM 80,
86]; recognises that efforts were made to include the voices and interests of our African partners,
but also notes that some voices expressed disappointment about a perceived ,lack of the
communication with some African partners before its publication; [AM 79] however points to
the need to clearly define how the new strategy is supposed to be implemented and indicate
which EU actor is in charge of doing what [AM 9];  underlines the importance of future
relations with Africa requires a broad involvement of civil societies of both continents; calls for
a stronger engagement on all levels, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs),
business, academia, think tanks, cultural and religious institutions, trade unions, and others
[AMs 10, 87, 98]; Strongly welcomes the signals sent by Commission President Ursula von der
Leyen to make relations with Africa a centre piece of her mandate [AM 63], in this regard,
welcomes that the very first visit of the new President of the European Commission was to Africa
and calls for more frequent high level meetings and contacts [AM 75]; Considers that such
personal encounters on the top-level are of utmost importance since next to fostering personal
bonds, they also raise the public awareness of our partnership in our respective national medias;
Calls therefore for a further intensification of these high-level meetings and exchanges,
including business and civil society forums and meetings [AM 63]  Regrets that the
Communication lacks clear proposals for coordinated approaches between the EU and the AU
to tackle common challenges which could be addressed jointly in multilateral systems (e.g. UN);
23

stresses that HRVP and EU Missions in capitals throughout the African continent should be
more active in presenting EU policy objectives. Encourages European think tanks and academia
in this regard to cooperate more actively with their African counterparts [AM 89]; Underlines
the need to adopt, within the Africa-EU partnership, a coordinated and comprehensive
approach, both between the EU-AU and among the EU and its Member States, as provided for
by Article 210 TFEU; calls on the EU to step up this joint perspective in view of the next EU-
Africa Summit scheduled for 2020 [AM 78];

Notes that Africa’s potential attracts increased interest from many players on the world scene
and expresses concern that in many areas Africa has become a new arena of great power
competition; [AM 101, 116]; Stresses that the EU is among the first to help the African continent
[AM 125] while destructive policies employed by other actors lead to the detriment of [AM 120]
African nations while also having negative impacts on the EU AM 122]; Underlines that the EU
at its core, in its political and economic relations with third countries, is motivated by the
advance of fundamental rights, and the support to democratic institutions and democratic
accountability, and whereas third actors like for example China pursue in our eyes other
objectives which at times pose a concern to us; stresses that our objective is to strengthen
resilience and independence of our African partners [AM 177]; therefore regrets that actions
by other players [AM 122], especially China and Russia, are advancing their geopolitical
interests [AM 120] and focused on a growing unilateralism [AM 121] and their own benefits at
the expense of the sovereignty of African countries [AM 125] and European security; calls on
the EU to seek a coordination with each country truly interested in a prosperous and positive
long-term development of the African continent, based on the full respect of human rights,
media freedom and accountability, transparent and responsive governance and the combat
against corruption, which are vital elements for ensuring a stable and inclusive political, social
and economic environment in Africa; calls on the EU to develop a strategic and long-term
response to the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which should be guided by our shared
values as well as the priorities and needs articulated by our African neighbours [AMs 116, 117,
118]; Stresses that the EU and its Member States need to become a source of stability and
reliability in the region. Believes that the European Union needs to play a bigger geopolitical
role in Africa and establish relations that account for the good of all; [AM 130]

Welcomes that the EU considers peace and security in Africa as key conditions for sustainable
development and that the Union is committed to “markedly step up its support to Africa in
cooperation with the international community” (AM 139); shares the opinion that the matter of
security in Africa is of great importance for the development of the continent [AM 140]
supported by regional and international organizations, while African states are the foremost
guarantors of their own security [AMs 149]; therefore calls the EU to continue its efforts to
24

[AMs 143, 149] work in cooperation with its African partners in the further development of an
African peace and security architecture to achieve long-term peace and stability  [AM 149] and
overcome the crises and conflicts on that continent through an integrated approach that
harnesses all available tools, including support for developing African security and defence
capabilities and its military operations, civilian missions [AMs 140, 143], peacebuilding and
demilitarization projects [AM 147] with respect for international human rights and

prerequisite for winning the trust of populations in their governments and security forces;
further underlines the civil-military nexus and the need to better streamline both components
of  the CSDP missions [AM 183];  Supports increasingly proactive approach taken by
cooperative regional security organizations towards the full operationalisation of the African
Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) which provides the African Union and regional level
organisations with the needed tools to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts; [AMs 172, 179];
commends in particular initiatives such as G-5 Sahel given its increasingly pivotal role in taking
decisive action to ensure peace and security by African nations in their own neighbourhood and
calls on the Commission and Member States to increase political, financial, operational and
logistical support to G-5 Sahel [AM 172] Stresses that in order to ensure appropriate levels of
security and development, the African countries must have adequate capacities in all essential
sectors, most importantly regarding security and defence; calls on the European Union to
coordinate the development and security initiatives in which it is involved on the African
continent as part of an integrated strategy that should include good governance, democracy,

Reiterates, that sustainable long-term economic development, and the subsequent creation of
decent and well-paid jobs, in particular for the youth, is the prerequisite for the development

democracy as well as increased civil and human rights; Welcomes in this light the efforts by the
Commission to make the “Africa-Europe Alliance” a central pillar of the economic relations
between the two continents;

points to the need of structural economic reforms and the importance of advancing domestic
production and manufacturing capacities, which would help to reduce the dependency on
foreign imports; recalls the need for the EU to enhance support to SMEs and points to the
opportunities of the EU’s Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME)
to promote business-to-business cooperation and joint ventures with African companies, which
would furthermore not only increase the visibility of business opportunities but also foster the
much-needed access to finance and access to technology through a transfer of know-how;
Furthermore underlines the need to improve investments protection scheme to facilitate and
encourage further investments; (163)

27

Calls upon the EU institutions and the Member States to be a more coherent and unified actor
in dealing with the African continent and to hence advance internal coordination in order to
better define a common way ahead; along this line highlights the need to develop a coherent
and all-encompassing strategy towards Africa, which must build on existing African and
European efforts and is centred on creating economic opportunities and jobs (AM 45)

Urges the EU to continue its support to the integration process in Africa through the AU, namely
by supporting the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) [AM
53]; Acknowledges the ambitions of African nations to overcome the existing challenges and

areas; [AM 39]  highlights the need to create economic opportunities and jobs, which is of key
importance when recalling the demographic trends on the African continent; in this context
points to the positive impact of “The External Investment Plan”, launched by then EC president

Recognises the complex challenges and opportunities migration movements play both in Europe and Africa
for the prosperity and the development of both continents and stresses the need to strengthen their
cooperation, based on the respect for human rights and international law, the principles of cooperation,
solidarity, balance and shared responsibility; Underlines that African development is based in the
capabilities of their people so migration should not lead to brain drain.

28

Emphasises the importance of building a long-term strategy to counter networks of smugglers and
traffickers in human beings to prevent irregular migration from African countries to the EU and
strengthening EU-Africa Migration and Mobility Dialogue (MMD) and Africa-EU Migration, Mobility
and Employment Partnership (MME); is however of the opinion that both partners should also focus
more on addressing the root causes of migration and make more effective use of existing and new
development cooperation instruments;

Notes that thirty-six  of the world’s most fragile countries are located in Africa, often weakened by
conflicts, while the continent hosts 390 million people living below the poverty line. Stresses that
lack of economic progress in the region, weak governance, instability, violation of human rights,
corruption, lack of rule of law and impunity, inequality, unemployment, the population growth
in some of the poorest and most underdeveloped countries, together with the effects of climate
[AM 49]  and environmental changes [223]  and accompanied by factors such as violent
conflicts, radicalization and proliferation of organized crime will inevitably lead to a series of
new challenges, which, if not addressed immediately, may result in forced displacement and
mixed migration movements - both, within the African continent and to Europe), that could lead
to extremely challenging scenarios for the African countries the European Union and its
Member States [AMs 49, 156, 164]; Recalls, that contrary to common belief, intra-regional
migration continues to outpace extra-regional migration on the African continent [AM 223]
and recognizes that African countries host a large part of the total amount of refugees and IDPs
worldwide  [AM 99];  Therefore stresses the need to build a long-  term shared strategy and
strengthen [AM 159] cooperation in all areas, emphasizing the need to fight human smuggling
and irregular migration routes, and establishing resettlement opportunities (AM 38, 47, 159
GUE]; Notes that Africa and Europe have a shared interest and responsibility when it comes to
migration and mobility and stresses that managing migration calls for global solutions based

to deal with forced displacement and refugee movements [AM 210];
Calls on the EC and the EEAS to take specific actions to protect migrants from death,
disappearance, family separation and violation of their rights [AM 100]; Is however of the
opinion that both partners should also focus more on roots causes of poverty and inequalities
as well as the effective use of development cooperation instruments [AM 165]; calls for effective
mechanisms to be put in place to be able to thoroughly control the final destination of External
Financial Instruments(EFIs) and to assess the projects which received funding  [AM 170];
Encourages continued cooperation with the IOM and other UN agencies to provide additional
support to refugees and internally displaced people [AM 223];

infrastructure, believes that their absence can be a significant obstacle to development, peace,
and progress; Underlines  that security, stability and hence ultimately also prosperity and
sustainable development will only be achieved in the concerned regions, if an all-encompassing
strategy is pursued, recalls in this light that security sector reform, justice reform, good
governance, democratic accountability, and the protection of civilians are a prerequisite for
winning the trust of populations in their governments and security forces;
[AM 183]
29

Highlights that while a number of countries continue to struggle with corruption, lack of good
governance as well as social and political freedoms, many countries have started the transition
towards reforms and democracy; applauds in this light in particular the people of Sudan for
their courage and bravery; recalls that transition countries are particularly vulnerable and
should be able to count on the EU when they ask for support; calls thus for well-coordinated
support and assistance to those countries [AM 171]  in building more resilient states and
societies  [AM 76]  in order to maintain and support the aspirations for positive change as
expressed by their peoples; suggests that the HR/VP establish special ad-hoc contact groups to
streamline and facilitate the EU wide support to individual transition countries [AM 171]; Is of
the opinion that more efforts should be made to promote inclusive multi-party political systems
[AM 217] and accountable, democratic governance in Africa, especially in fragile states, by
facilitating citizen-government working groups, parliamentary oversight including through
utilizing technology platforms to collect citizen input on policy issues and promoting best
practices through peer-to-peer exchanges to enhance government accountability and
responsiveness which is fundamental to delivering sustainable development, tackling global
challenges and reduces the risk of spreading instability [AMs 76, 217, 225] Stresses the

propose an encompassing EU-African initiative to reflect on the entangled colonial histories
and to investigate cases of illicit appropriation and to explore measures of repatriation and
restitution of cultural artefacts of African origin [95].
