New ENPI "Info Notes" highlight concrete cooperation actions undertaken by EU with Eastern European neighbours

The "Info Notes" (downloadable here in PDf format) highlight concrete cooperation actions undertaken under the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) East and within the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP).

Since the EU’s enlargement in 2004 and 2007, an ever deeper relationship is being built between the Union and the countries on its Eastern borders within the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). It engages Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. ENP also covers Belarus, which can become a full partner provided it takes concrete steps towards democratisation, respect for humanrights and the rule of law.

The EU is the region’s major donor, with the European Commission providing the lion’s share of its regional support through its EuropeAid Co-operation Office. For the period 2007-2013 the EU Partnership with the Eastern neighbours is being financed through the ENPI, for which a total amount of €12 billion is foreseen, of which approximately 10 percent is allocated for regional projects.
