with a very few countries under the observer of the UN program oil
instead food and medicine.
It was clear there were no political or contractual relations
between the EU as a group and Iraq after the Gulf War, but after the
US operations inside Iraq the political regime was changed in Iraq and
it was reflected on his foreign policy and relations with the
International community. At the beginning and after 2003 EU
members opposed the US occupation of Iraq , later they divided over
the issue of attacking Iraq but at the end EU support US for attacking
Iraq under the pretext of weapons of mass destruction and it was
strongly clear when the majority of the UN security council member
whose have the veto right ( EU members States) and the US were
same interests and political directions over Iraq issue
