D2.2. 3 short reports on case studies (Vietnam, Ghana, Tunisia) and 1 synthesis report on How the SDGs are currently included in preferential agreements and how are sustainability provision working

The first activity in D2.2. is to provide an overview of the way in which SDGs are typically treated in EU agreements, and to discuss this in the context of multilateral trade rules and agreements, notably the WTO. This task will undertake a qualitative survey of how non-product related agricultural issues are addressed in EU FTAs. As opposed to analysis of SPS chapters, this element would focus on relevant commitments in EU Trade and Sustainable Development (environment and labour) chapters: dedicated articles on forestry and fisheries, cooperation on relevant MEAs and other forms of regional cooperation. Case studies will be carried out in three countries (Ghana, Vietnam and Tunisia) on the extent to which the provisions described above were utilised, which provisions appeared to be more useful or productive, and what kinds of outcomes were evident.
