N2  - From 2000, the Convention between the European Union and 77 ACP countries was renewed, but this time under the name of the Cotonou Convention. The Lomé Conventions have contained parts in which elements of trade and
development aid and political dialogue were integrated into one whole. The Lomé Conventions have channelled a significant amount of development aid into the ACP countries. For trade policy, the important point was that the ACP countries
were given substantial preferences in their exports to the EEC/EU countries. Trade preference has been expanded to the point where customs-exempt exports account for 97% of the ACP countries’ exports to the EU countries
