The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation has organised the international seminar \u201cThe Caribbean-European Union synergy: What challenges and opportunities?\u201d along with the Interdisciplinary Institute for the Relations Between the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean (IRELAC) and under the auspices of the Directorate for Americas of the Belgian Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n
The aim of this seminar, celebrated at the Egmont Palace in Brussels, is to draw attention on the challenges and opportunities which the Caribbean region has to face in relation to economic, energetic, and climatic aspects as well as to the importance of the cooperative approach among the Caribbean States and with the European Union\u2019s partners.<\/p>\n
It is an opportunity to tackle aspects of the Caribbean region and improve diplomatic and academic ties between the EU and the Caribbean with the identification of first operative steps to take in the bi-regional partnership. It is, furthermore, organised at a crucial moment when negotiations on the new Association Agreement between the European Union and the ACP countries (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific) have just began.<\/p>\n
With this seminar, which has had the support of AVANTE Extremadura, Alimentos de Extremadura (Foods from Extremadura) and the Extremaduran Office in Brussels in its organisation and where diplomats, political decision makers and representatives of the academic world will attend, Yuste Foundation keeps fulfilling its aim to create meeting and study forums and analyse the interests and common challenges that we share on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n
On this occasion the organisers of the event deemed it necessary and urgent to draw attention to the Caribbean region and the numerous challenges it should face to guarantee the macroeconomic as well as the environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n
This region deserves more attention, not just due to its historical ties with Europe, but mainly because it is exposed to systematic accumulating threats that are emblematic as far as the global challenges that the world and the EU are condemned to face in the near future is concerned.<\/p>\n
The Caribbean is a crossroad between two hemispheres and a cultural and geographical mosaic of 38 territories in the broadest sense of the term. The Caribbean islands cover 30 territories (13 sovereign states and 17 dependent territories) of more than 240.000 km2 <\/sup>with a population of 44 million inhabitants and it is a region in the world where four official languages are spoken: English, French, Spanish and Dutch, apart from other indigenous languages, such as Creole or Papiamento.<\/p>\n In this event the Director of the Belgian Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alain Van Gucht;
