The European Community and the Gulf Co-Operation Council THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY AND THE GULF CO-OPERATION COUNCIL* I. INTRODUCTION The Community and the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) are currently exploring avenues towards the conclusion of an agreement.

Over the past 10 years the GCC countries have become the Community's third largest export market after the United States and EFTA. The Gulf Co-operation Council countries occupy a key place in the context of current world economic and political relations, a role in which they seem bound to continue for the foreseeable future.
