History of ACP - EU relations
The origins of the formal relationship between the EU and the African, Caribbean, and Pacific regions go back to the creation of the European Economic Community (EEC) by the 1957 Treaty of Rome. In particular, Part IV of the treaty envisaged an association of the overseas territories of Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Italy. The vast majority of these overseas territories were in Africa, with 15 administered by France, two by Belgium and one by Italy.

The convention was renegotiated and renewed three times. Lomé II (January 1981 to February 1985) increased aid and investment expenditure to EUA 5.5 billion. Lomé III came into force in March 1985 (trade provisions) and May 1986 (aid), and expired in 1990; it increased commitments to EUA 8.5 billion. Lomé IV was signed in December 1989. Its trade provisions cover the ten years, 1990 to 1999. Aid and investment commitments for the first five years amounted to EUA 12 billion. In all, some 70 ACP countries are party to Lomé IV, compared with 46 signatories of Lomé I.
