The first initiative of implementation of the convention undertaken by the ec/eu, even before the ratification of the convention by the eu and its entry into force, has been related to article 16 on preferential treatment and led to the conclusion of a protocol on cultural cooperation with the cariforum countries in 2008 in the context of the economic partnership agreement.this protocol was the object of extensive analysis in the framework of the experts group on article 16 of the convention (report by edouard bourcieu), which was set up by the intergovernmental committee.important adaptations to the cariforum template were undertaken in the context of the protocol contained in appendix to the free trade agreement concluded with south korea100. such changes aimed in particular to (i) conditioning entry into force of the protocol only upon ratification by korea; (ii) setting coproduction criteria which allow qualifying for the respective "broadcasting quotas" and (iii) ensuring a full institutional separation for the protocol from the agreement's trade committee general dispute settlement mechanisms. this protocol is based on strict reciprocity and balance on the basis of article 12 of the convention - compared to the protocol with cariforum countries which isasymmetrical in nature. the most recent examples of a protocol on cultural cooperation concern the eu trade agreement with colombia and peru101, and the eu-central america association agreement. in the course ofboth negotiations, stand-alone agreements on cultural cooperation have been concluded.
