Therefore, those countries are granted a more favourable treatment than other OACPS member countries. The text of the Cotonou agreement has been updated in 2005 and 2010, but the lists have not, despite the fact that the actual list of LDCs as defined by the United Nations has changed: Cape Verde has graduated from LDC status in December 2007, while Senegal has acquired the status in 2001 and Timor-Leste in 2003. The following lists should thus not be considered as the actual lists of OACPS LDCs and islands (a few islands are also not listed). Annex VI of the Cotonou agreement lists the following designations: Least-developed OACPS states Angola Benin Burkina Faso Burundi Cape Verde the Central African Republic Chad Comoros the Democratic Republic of the Congo Djibouti Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Ethiopia Gambia Guinea Guinea-Bissau Haiti Kiribati Lesotho Liberia Madagascar Malawi Mali Mauritania Mozambique Niger Rwanda Samoa São Tomé and Príncipe Sierra Leone Solomon Islands Somalia Sudan Tanzania Tuvalu Togo Uganda Vanuatu Zambia The Least developed OCTs are the following: Anguilla, Mayotte, Montserrat, Saint Helena, Turks and Caicos Islands, Wallis and Futuna, Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
