Evaluation of the EU’s Cooperation with Central America : Final Report ; Volume I – Main report

This evaluation provides an overall, independent assessment of the European Union’s regional cooperation and partnership relations with Central America. Based on this assessment, it provides recommendations to improve the future cooperation of the European Union (EU) with this region. The evaluation examines how regional cooperation of the EU has helped to advance the integration process in Central America between 2007 and 2013. Geographically, it therefore covers the countries that are members of the Central American Integration System, also known as SICA. Bi-lateral cooperation was only considered, insofar as it was meant to complement the regional cooperation of the EU. Furthermore, the evaluation did neither assess the trade policy of the European Union, nor the overall political relations and agreements between the regions, such as the Association Agreement. It only examined the complementarity and coherence of these different areas of EU external relations.
