This group deals with the international agri-food trade and policy developments, the negotiation and the implementation of Free Trade Agreements and more generally the matters related to the international dimension of the CAP, both at bilateral and multilateral levels.

The Commission publishes all relevant documents such as agendas, minutes, conclusions, partial conclusions or working documents on the activities carried out by the civil dialogue group on international aspects of agriculture.

Exceptions to systematic publication will be made where disclosure of a document would undermine the protection of a public or private interest as defined in article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents.
