Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Insists on the effective implementation of the specific commitments related to Trade and Sustainable Development (TSD) provisions, which are an integral part of the AA and are essential to the accomplishment of the objectives set; welcomes, in particular, the fact that civil society advisory mechanisms are now established in all CA countries; regrets, in this context, that the meetings of the Association Committee and Subcommittees and the Civil Society Dialogue Forum have not always taken place as foreseen, and insists that meetings take place on an annual basis; calls on the parties to the Agreement to rapidly establish mechanisms to strengthen the advisory groups envisaged in the agreement by ensuring that their composition is balanced by representative organisations that are independent of all official bodies; calls, further, on the parties to the Agreement to put in place effective mechanisms for dialogue with the advisory groups and to include them in the agreement evaluation processes planned for next year; takes the view that a binding sustainable development chapter with sanctions would be more effective in tackling social and environmental rights abuses;
