Abstract
This chapter introduces the priorities set out by the three Nordic member states with regard to development policy and their position concerning EU development cooperation, especially the Lomé convention. It focuses first on Denmark, the longest-standing EU member of the three, which is particularly committed to development cooperation. Sweden’s position is examined next, then that of Finland. Finally the future prospects for Lomé cooperation are examined, as they are perceived by the Nordic countries. In conclusion, the ‘Nordic contribution’ to the EU’s development cooperation is summarized.
