Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what decisions have been made in the past six months by the European Commission about the provision and destination of aid within Africa.

Mr. Baldry

Tables providing details of EC projects approved between July and December 1994 which benefit sub-Saharan Africa under (i) the European development fund, (ii) European Community food and humanitarian aid and (iii) the special programme for South Africa, have been placed in the Library of the House.

In October 1994, a framework agreement creating the first bilateral treaty relationship between the EC and South Africa was signed. In November 1994, the Development Council agreed a programme of 67 mecu— about £53 million—to rehabilitate social and production structures in Rwanda.
