In this context, this report takes as its background the negotiations that took place 20 years ago to reach a free trade agreement between the EU and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), making these the oldest trade negotiations initiated by the EU, but which have not been concluded to this day.
Dans ce contexte, ce rapport prend pour toile de fond les négociations qui ont eu lieu il y a 20 ans afin de conclure un accord de libre-échange entre l’Union et le Conseil de coopération du Golfe (CCG), ce qui en fait les plus anciennes négociations commerciales engagées de l’Union et non conclues à ce jour.
