Moreover, he noted that the European Union had already engaged with Uganda, Bangladesh, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Lesotho, and also with regional organizations, including ARIPO and the OECS, on identified priority needs. In addition, it had implemented broader programmes with most of the ACP countries, which were not linked to priority needs. This information had been provided in the latest reports by the European Union (IP/C/W/582/Add.7 and IP/C/W/568) and he was ready to discuss it also bilaterally.
