Algeria–European Union relations are the foreign relations between the country ofAlgeria and theEuropean Union.[1]
Algeria was a part of theEuropean Economic Community (EEC) during its incorporation within theFrench Republic, when it was known asL'Algérie Française and was considered an integral part of theMetropolitan France. Followingits independence from France in 1962, the legal status of its relationship with the EEC was unresolved, as the text of the (1957)Treaty of Rome continued to refer to Algeria by name as an overseas territory of France to which the treaty provisions applied.[2] In 1976 theEEC signed a treaty with Algeria, formalizing their relationship as being between neighboring entities.[3]

In 2016, 67% of Algeria's exports went to the EU and 44% of Algeria's imports came from the EU.[5] Fuel and mining products made up 95.7% of EU imports from Algeria in 2017.[4] Chemicals represented the second most important exported product, worth 2.9% of Algeria's exports to the EU.[4] The EU's main exports to Algeria are machinery (22.2%), transport equipment (13.4%), agricultural products (12.8%), chemicals (12.8%) and iron and steel (10.2%).[4]
Algeria is receiving €108 million - €132 million under theEuropean Neighbourhood Instrument.[6] Currently funds are being used to promote economic efficiency, economic governance, and economic diversification, as well as strengthening democracy and reducing pollution.[6]
