RELATIONS WITH THE EU
The European Union and Cayman Islands
A strong EU - Cayman Islands partnership is crucial to building a more democratic, secure and prosperous world.
Political Relations
The Cayman Islands are “British Overseas Territories” whose development cooperation with the EU is based on Article 182 of the Treaty of Rome. The value of trade between the EU and the Cayman Islands has been increasing over the years.
Due to their high GNP per capita, the Cayman Islands are not eligible for allocations under the European Development Fund (EDF). However, Cayman qualifies for non-programmed aid for a variety of projects.
