ACP Institutions

The Council of Ministers is the ACP Group’s main decision-making body. It is the supreme body responsible for implementing the guidelines laid down by the Summit. Ministerial sectoral meetings are held regularly, namely, Meeting of Trade Ministers, Meeting of Ministers of Culture. The Council is composed of a member of Government from each ACPState or a government-designated representative. It outlines the terms and conditions for implementing the Group’s objectives as set out in its general policy, and periodically checks to see whether these objectives have been attained. The Council meets twice annually in ordinary sessions. It may also meet, when necessary, in special session, on the advice of the President, after consultation with all the members of the Bureau.
