Sector Dialogues Support Facility
Both sides reiterated that the Strategic Partnership is the cornerstone of EU-Brazil relations and stressed the importance of joint understandings to improve its implementation.
Among their shared and reaffirmed commitments are: the values and principles of democracy and the rule of law, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, the promotion and implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the promotion of international peace and security, on which the EU-Brazil Strategic Partnership is based. Also, both sides concurred that the promotion of trade liberalization and the facilitation of trade and investment flows fosters economic growth and prosperity, including through a robust and effective WTO system.
With a view to making the Strategic Partnership more effective and results-oriented, both sides decided to strengthen political dialogue and cooperation, economic and trade relations as well as cooperation in other sectors of mutual interest. They will continue to consult each other and work closely in international fora on topics of mutual interest, including on UN reform, so as to promote reciprocal support and joint initiatives.
It is worth remembering that the Sector Dialogues Support Facility, which is in its 4th phase, is a successful instrument of this Strategic Partnership. Several areas addressed during this meeting, such as trade, science and technology, human rights and climate change, are already established sector dialogues between the EU and Brazil that promote and support the joint work as well as the exchange of knowledge and experiences in the search for solutions in confronting the great challenges of our future.
The 18th meeting of the EU-Brazil Joint Committee will be in 2018 in Brasilia (Brazil).
