Unilateral declaration made by Belgium
Following the signature of the Strategic Partnership Agreement between the European
Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Japan, on the other hand, Belgium
emphasises the importance it attaches to the provisions regarding human rights and
weapons of mass destruction as included in the agreement. With regard to the articles
2.1., 5.1. and 43.4., Belgium underlines that the wording used in the above agreement
can under no circumstances be used as a reference for the framework agreements with
third partners to be negotiated or concluded in the future. Belgium therefore advocates
the continued use of the customary provisions in accordance with the decisions made
by the Council in this respect.
