    Abstract Article 8 of the 2015 Paris Agreement calls on the parties to cooperate to address ‘loss and damage’ associated with the adverse effects of climate change. Insurance is one of the solutions that the provision points to in this respect. This paper examines whether so-called parametric risk pooling may provide a useful tool to this end by examining lessons from three multi-country parametric risk pooling schemes. The examination shows that parametric risk pooling schemes require careful design in order to work optimally and that even then, they do not represent a miracle solution. In particular, the paper points out that the three schemes only provide a limited response in the period directly after a devastating hazard has struck. Therefore, the ensuing support required must come from other sources. The paper concludes that parametric risk pooling may provide a valuable tool for addressing loss and damage, but must be complemented by a range of other tools to comprehensively address the loss and damage challenges posed by climate change. Key policy insights Parametric insurance schemes can provide a useful tool to respond to natural hazards caused by climate change in developing countries. Parametric insurance schemes require careful design and only provide interim coverage between the time when a natural hazard occurs and when classic humanitarian aid arrives. Due to continued financial limitations on the part of the insurance-takers, parametric insurance in developing countries is dependent upon donor assistance.

    Abstract Most of the world's developing countries have been colonies under one of the EU Member States. Today the European Union pursues preferential policies (in the form of special legal relationships) towards most of these former colonies. These preferential policies however differ rather significantly. This paper pursues two objectives. Firstly, it sets out to examine whether there is a pattern in the European Union's policies towards these former colonies. Since such a structure is identified, it secondly attempts to provide an explanation for this. Regarding the first objective, the paper divides the European Union's relations with its former colonies into four groups: "Outermost Regions", "Overseas Countries and Territories", "ACP countries" and "other former colonies". By taking a bird's-eye view on the legal relationship between each of these four groups and the European Union, it is possible to identify two protuberant characteristics: (1) all four groups display two recurring elements, namely trade and aid, and (2) the Union rather overtly offers the most favourable conditions to Outermost Regions followed by Overseas Countries and Territories and ACP countries - and with the group of other developing countries as the one receiving the least preferential treatment. With regard to the second objective of the paper, it is suggested that the most plausible explanation for the disparate treatment between the four groups of developing countries is a combination of the various regions' "political nearness" to their former colonial power combined with "historical inertia" (meaning that the original level of preferential treatment is carried on in subsequent schemes). Hence, only within the fourth group of developing countries does Realpolitik appear to play the main role.

    Abstract In 2009 the European Union and its Member States jointly provided development assistance totaling 49 billion Euro, amounting to more than half of all the world's development assistance. About one fifth - or 12 billion Euro - was managed by the European Commission. The regulation of how these very considerable amounts are to be spent to a very large extent is made in the form of soft law measures (i.e. non-binding measures) rather than as hard law measures (i.e. binding measures). This is surprising, not least when one takes the importance and the size of the amounts into account. In a recent DIIS Working Paper, consulting senior researcher Morten Broberg demonstrates this peculiarity and examines its likely causes. Moreover, Broberg argues that the extensive use of soft law measures affects the power balance between the different actors, in particular by strengthening the position of the Member States at the cost of, first of all, the Commission and the European Parliament.

    Abstract This working paper provides an analysis of the efforts by the European Union to support democracy building in developing countries. It focuses on the specific question of the legal obligations of, and limits for, the European Union in seeking to further democracy through its policies directed at developing countries. The core of the paper is an examination of the legal framework governing the Union's relations with developing countries and the possibilities for furthering democracy. The paper considers the European Union's determination of whether a third country complies, in legal terms, with its "democratic obligations", and how it is able to control and sanction non-compliance. On the basis of these examinations the possibilities of furthering democracy and the rule of law in the Union's development cooperation legislation are analysed.

    Abstract The Cotonou Agreement is the European Union's most important legal measure in the field of development assistance covering 79 developing countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific (ACP countries). It empowers the European Union to sanction "serious cases of corruption" where this corruption is related to economic and sectoral policies and programmes to which the European Union is a significant financial partner. During the negotiations leading to the adoption of the Cotonou Agreement the ACP countries strongly objected to the inclusion of the possibility of sanctioning corruption. In practice the European Union has only sanctioned one single case of corruption under the provision, however. Whereas this does not necessarily mean that the sanctioning clause is without an impact, the fact that sanctions have been imposed in only one situation is a strong indication that its impact is rather limited. It is suggested that more effective means of preventing corruption are considered.

    Abstract This paper examines the European Community's food safety regime in order to identify those legal measures that cause the most problems for developing countries' exporters of food products and to point to possible solutions. It is shown that barriers may arise due to an array of requirements, some of which may appear to be rather minor legal amendments, such as changing a sampling plan. There is no easy solution to this problem, but three specific meas-ures are proposed: Firstly, improved harmonisation of food safety measures in the industrial-ised countries. Secondly, when proposing new food safety measures the European Commis-sion should identify the proposal's likely consequences on developing countries - and should explain how alternative measures will affect both food safety and the developing countries. And lastly, the European Community should strengthen its provision of development assis-tance to enable the developing countries to comply with the food safety standards.
