The artiele is devoted to analysis of the EEC policy in relation to the Third World countries. At the EEC level, the activities concerning the Community's policy towards the developing countries can be divided into three groups: — association with the countries of Africa, the Carribean Sea and the Pacificic — establishment of special links with the majority of the Mediterraean countries; — generalized system of preferences in relation to all the Third World countries. The analysis of relationships between the EEC and the developing countries reveals a considerable intensificatiin of ties between them. This is due to the fact the EEC is more and more interested in establishing closer contacts with these countries. Simultaneously, the Third World countries also strive to intensify these ties. On the other hand, the existing relationships between these two groups of countries give rise to certain new reflections concerning international relations, and especially North-South relations.
