ENPI 2007-2013

Also indexed as: European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument

Website: ec.europa.eu/world/enp/funding_en.htm

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 our neighbours and instead strengthening the prosperity, stability and security of all concerned. In this way, it also addresses the strategic objectives set out in the December 2003 European Security Strategy.

The European Neighbourhood Policy applies to the EU's immediate neighbours by land or sea - Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine. Although Russia is also a neighbour of the EU, our relations are instead developed through a Strategic Partnership covering four "common spaces".

From 1 January 2007, EC assistance to the countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy is funded via the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) which replaced the various geographical programmes including TACIS (for our eastern neighbours and Russia) and MEDA (for our southern Mediterranean neighbours), as well as thematic programmes such as EIDHR (European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights). ENPI will be a much more flexible, policy-driven instrument. It is designed to target sustainable development and approximation to EU policies and standards - supporting the agreed priorities in the ENP Action Plans (as well as the Strategic Partnership with Russia, which was previously also covered by the TACIS programme). For the next budgetary period (2007-2013), approximately 12 billion Euros in EC funding will be available to support these partners' reforms, an increase of 32% in real terms. Funds allocated to individual country programmes will depend on their needs and absorption capacity as well as their implementation of agreed reforms.
