The transition in Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs), bringing in its wake improved trade relations with the European Union (EU), has raised considerable concern in less developed countries (LDCs). Although there has been some discussion of the possible implications of this new EU orientation for EU-LDC relations, relatively little detailed analysis of the trade and capital issues involved has been undertaken. In this volume international experts give an overview on developments in EU-LDC trade and capital relations; analyze EU trade policy and its change over time; assess the grounds for LDC fears concerning erosion of trade preferences and diversion of trade, investment and aid toward the CEECs; determine the effect of the European agreements on trade in "sensitive" productions and with particular countries; lay to rest unwarranted fears; and look toward the future of EU-LDC relations.

In less developed countries (LDCs) there is considerable concern that the developments in the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) may lead to a more inward looking European Union (EU). As EU trade, foreign investment and aid flows are diverted from LDCs towards the CEECs, close neighbours of the EU, a new dimension would be added to 'fortress Europe'. This volume consists of 11 chapters by scholars from the EU, the CEECs and LDCs. Each paper is discussed in terms of its policy relevance by a policy maker as well as by an academic specializing in the field. In the opening chapter we aim to do justice to the discussion during the Workshop in Rotterdam in May 1994 at which preliminary versions of all chapters were presented. Edited versions of the interventions by the policy makers and experts are included as far as possible after the chapters. A summary of the discussion is presented in the concluding remarks by Rolf Langhammer. The opinions expressed in this volume are those of the authors and not necessarily of their organizations. The editors XXI Foreword I am glad the first meeting of this network is on the developing country dimension of pan-European integration, for two reasons. Firstly, politi cal and economic liberalization in Central and Eastern Europe makes it possible, even necessary, to discuss such an issue.
