Europa EUR-Lex    2007 General budget

Title 21 — Development and relations with African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States

Overall objectives

The policy area covers a wide range of activities from political relations and policy formulation to programming and implementing cooperation programmes. It includes both budgetary appropriations under Heading 4 of the financial framework and funds under the various European Development Funds (EDF) for the African, Caribbean and Pacific States as well as the overseas countries and territories.

The amount of the EDF varies from year to year due to the five-year implementation cycle, and corresponds to a yearly average of approximately EUR 2 950 million in commitment appropriations. This is equivalent to about 55  % of total appropriations under Heading 4.

This implies that significant human resources, which are employed to implement the EDF and the complex operations under the Cotonou Agreement, are to be taken into account in the overall human resources requirements in this policy area.
