Totkovičová, Lucia ; Černá, Iveta (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
Bachelor thesis characterizes trade and partnership agreements between European Union and African, Caribbean and Pacific group of states in the context of World Trade Organization's legal texts. The thesis focuses on the basic principles of multilateral trading system and special treatment of developing countries. It chronologically concerns itself with close trade relations and particular agreements between the EU and the ACP group. There are described various preferential trade regimes applied by the EU towards developing countries, primarily the ACP. Because of contradiction of the EU-ACP preferential agreements to WTO rules it was necessary to come to re evaluation of EU-ACP relations and negotiations of new Economic Partnership Agreements, called EPAs. The main accent is put on analysis of EPAs, incentives to negotiations with ACP regions, problems connected with it and mainly the conformity with WTO provisions. Last but not least the thesis describes the impact of EPAs on ACP regions, sums up its strengths and provides information about the future of EU-ACP cooperation.
