The objective of the ECPDM study is to have a better understanding of how the cultural provisions of the Cariforum-EU EPA are being implemented in the EU and how the Cariforum countries can benefit from these provisions. It looks at the measures that still need to be taken by the EU Member States, Cariforum countries as well as the operators of the culture and creative sector to ensure that the EPA can facilitate the development of these sectors in the Caribbean and increase the trade opportunities and cultural exchanges between the Cariforum countries and the EU Member States.
The ECPDM study looks foremost at how eight Member States of the EU such as Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom implemented to date the cultural provisions of the Cariforum-EU EPA.
