Course summary European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP):
The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) was developed in 2004, with
the objective of avoiding the emergence of new dividing lines between the
enlarged EU and European Union neighbours and instead strengthening the
prosperity, stability and security of all.
This ENP framework is proposed to the 16 of EU's closest neighbours –
Algeria,
Armenia,
Azerbaijan,
Belarus,
Egypt,
Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon,
Libya, Moldova, Morocco, Occupied
Palestinian Territory, Syria, Tunisia
and Ukraine.
The EEuropean Neighbourhood Policy goes beyond existing relationships to offer
political association and deeper economic integration, increased mobility and
more people-to-people contacts.
The ENP, which is chiefly a bilateral policy between the EU and each partner
country, is further enriched with regional and multilateral co-operation
initiatives:
- the Eastern Partnership,
- the Union for the Mediterranean (the
Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, formerly known as the Barcelona Process), and
- the Black Sea Synergy.
Eastern Partnership
The European Commission put forward concrete ideas for enhancing our
relationship with: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
This would imply new association agreements including deep and comprehensive
free trade agreements with those countries willing and able to enter into a
deeper engagement and gradual integration in the EU economy
