Abstract
As the years go by relations between the European Union and Africa have gained new features and a new quality.They became more businesslike and mote concrete. In2000 at the 36th Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in Algiers ambitious program «New Partnership for Africa’s Development» (NEPAD) was adopted. In the years since that historic event many African countries with the help of European partners have achieved significant growth of gross domestic product (GDP). The growth rate of African economies is characterized today by steady positive dynamics.Along with apparent development complexities the continent is becoming increasingly attractive for foreign investors. Meanwhile, the pattern of trade and economic relations with its Western partners its being modifies. The principles of giving aid to African states by the European Union and other highly-developed countries of “the North” are changing too, which is very important because it is just those principles for many years were a sort of a “cornerstone” of bilateral and multilateral relations between them. Africa and Europe choose now to meet the current challenges jointly.
