【 摘 要 】

The present thesis, "The legal framework of the external relations of the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community with Lebanon", examines the legal aspects of the external relations of these two Communities with respect to Lebanon, with special reference to their common commercial policy and development policy. In examining twenty five years of relationship between the two parties, the thesis endeavours to answer whether Lebanon, at any time, received special treatment from the EEC corresponding to the historical, political, economic, cultural and geographical close ties between them as reflected in the legal rules which provides the framework for the EEC-Lebanese trade and commercial relations. The thesis, moreover, evaluates the developments in the legal framework of these relations in the light of the developments in international trade rules and whether the European Communities' agreements with Lebanon responded to Lebanon's special characteristics and level of development and consequently responded to its special needs. Furthermore, the thesis assesses the contribution of the contractual relationship of the relevant parties to the development of their trade relations, with particular emphasis on Lebanon's exports to the EEC markets.
