Abstract
When Britain joined the European Community, the EC’s development policy was based on the concept of association and was directed mainly at France’s former colonies. In the years immediately after accession, the percentage of the British aid budget spent via the EC institutions was only 6 per cent. Yet by 1996 it had risen to 25 per cent, mainly via the Lomé Convention which had replaced the old association model.
