Description
This paper examines the various options under consideration for future ACP-EU relations after the Lome IV Convention and provides suggestions for elements of a successor arrangement capable of addressing the diverse trade and development issues of the ACP countries. The study examines the factors accounting for the limited success of the Lome Conventions in contributing to the development of ACP countries and analyses how in a new arrangement, instruments of cooperation in the areas of trade, development finance and technical assistance could be better designed and co-ordinated, in order to enhance the supply capabilities of the ACP countries and promote diversification of their economies.
