Abstract: This paper first presents an overview of EU preferential trade arrangements with special attention to the EU-ACP partnership and the EBA initiative. It then shows that exports of ACP states and LDCs are still highly dependent on the EU market, notably for bananas and sugar. It also provides an assessment of the EU-ACP partnership and the EBA initiative by reviewing the literature on the subject. Within this framework, we examine to what extent forthcoming changes in European banana and sugar policies, be they unilateral or multilateral, could adversely affect ACP states and LDCs.
