Name of creator(s): From the Joint Committee of 1976 to the Joint Committee of 1980 (COPA.1976, COPA.1977, COPA.1978, COPA.1979 and COPA.1980)
Structure and content
Series ACP 03LO1 00AC includes 41 files relating to 10 meetings of the Joint Committee, the meetings of the Ad Hoc Committee on ‘Specific problems in connection with the Lomé Convention’ and the meetings of two Working Parties: one on the ‘Protection of rights for students, trainees and migrant workers originating from the ACP States’ and the other on ‘Cultural cooperation between the ACP States and the EEC’, which were held during the period covered by the first Lomé Convention (1976 to 1980).
The series is structured chronologically by meeting of the Joint Committee, its Working Parties and its Ad Hoc Committee.
In most instances, the file for each meeting is broken down thematically as follows: – preparation and proceedings,
– logistics,
– follow-up to the meeting and, in some cases,
– correspondence.
Content of the series
The Joint Committee, which was responsible for preparing the work of the ACP-EEC Assembly (Article 12 of the Rules of Procedure) and for reviewing the annual report of the Council of Ministers (Article 19), played an important role in the Association.
In order to understand the precise nature of the discussions of the Joint Committee, it would seem appropriate, in terms of methodology, to refer first to the parliamentary reports drawn up by this Committee, as these may provide researchers with a timeline and, in so doing, assist in identifying the minutes that are likely to deal with the subject matter of their research.
