  We calculate the neutron electric dipole form factor induced by the CP
violating theta-term of QCD, within a perturbative chiral quark model which
includes pion and kaon clouds. On this basis we derive the neutron electric
dipole moment and the electron-neutron Schiff moment. From the existing
experimental upper limits on the neutron electric dipole moment we extract
constraints on the theta-parameter and compare our results with other
approaches.
