# Commission Regulation (EC) No 2304/2002 of 20 December 2002 implementing Council Decision 2001/822/EC on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community ('Overseas Association Decision'), Division Chapter 2:: Assessment of the political, economic, social and environmental situation

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Major domestic policy developments/issues and relevant aspects of the external context should be covered, including the political situation, trade aspects, the economic and social situation, environmental aspects and, finally, the sustainability of current policies and medium-term challenges.
This should be an analytical and not merely descriptive exercise. The analysis should be dialogue-driven, prepared in close cooperation with other donors (if applicable) and involving non-governmental actors.
Wherever relevant, special attention should be paid to the implementation of international good governance principles in the financial, tax and judicial areas, and to the extent and the calendar of reforms in this connection.
In the same way, special attention should be paid to the availability of up-to-date statistical data.
