In their article, David Rothbard and Craig Rucker urge EU policy makers to ensure that their new policies towards Africa will be beneficial in particular to African nations that were once European colonies.
“The answer to Africa’s needs, however, is not more handouts or even aid forgiveness, as was recommended at the June 2005 G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland.

Other contributors included German Chancellor and EU-President Angela Merkel, EU Commissioners Dimas and Piebalgs, Ukrainian foreign minister Tarasyuk and Claude Mandil, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency.
