1 ENPI European Neighbourood Partnership Instrument EastErn neighbours EuropeAid Regional cooperation Regional Cooperation builds bridges between the EU and its Eastern Partners through the funding of multi-country programmes and projects that contribute towards creating an area of peace, security and shared prosperity.
2 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). The aim of the ENP is to bring these neighbours closer to the EU and support their efforts for economic, social and political reform. The ENP has been developed with the objective of avoiding the emergence of new dividing lines between the enlarged EU and its neighbours, and instead strengthening the prosperity, stability and security of partners and the EU. It is the first single EU policy embracing its Eastern neighbours. All Eastern Partners, and Russia, are beneficiaries of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI), the financial tool that turns decisions taken on a political level into actions on the ground. If we look back to these years of cooperation and what we have achieved, I think we have good reasons to be proud. Despite certain obstacles and setbacks, we have built up over the years a robust partnership, I should even say a friendship that is built on mutual trust, frankness and our willingness to discuss all issues, however difficult and sensitive. Cooperation is, indeed, a win-win process for the EU and our partners. Štefan Füle, Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy Regional cooperation Challenges faced by the countries of the region, such as developing transnational corridors, the management of crossborder rivers and basins, and the fight against terrorism and transnational organised crime, have an inherent cross-border character and can be better tackled through a cooperative effort at regional level. Thus, the EU funds regional cooperation. The choice of regional projects reflects the defined priority areas, which are: Transport; Energy; Sustainable management of natural resources; Border and migration management, the fight against transnational organized crime and customs; People-to-people activities; Landmines, explosive remnants of war, small arms and light weapons. Regional cooperation has a strategic impact, as it deals with issues that different Eastern Partners have in common. The Regional Programmes function as a forum for dialogue, bringing people from the Partner Countries to the same table, despite sometimes obvious differences, helping them to engage in discussion, and exchange views and experiences. The EU seeks to support regional cooperation with its Eastern neighbours and between them, and helps them to deal with common challenges through a number of major policy initiatives. The latest, the Eastern Partnership (EaP) launched in spring 2009, foresees stronger political engagement of the Partner Countries with the EU. The EaP seeks to bolster political and socio-economic reforms in the Partner Countries, facilitating their approximation and convergence towards the EU.
3 Major donor 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 , 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. The ENP allows every country to articulate its own ambitions in dialogue with the EU. Some want to work towards free trade. Others have different ambitions, for example to work together on infrastructure, environmental or energy related issues, create closer cultural relations or chose to stimulate the exchange of students, journalists or other professionals. The European Union is committed to taking this cooperation further through its Regional Programmes and by providing the platform for continuous dialogue. ENP countries Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Syria, Tunisia, Ukraine. Financial Instruments and Tools Multi-Country Cooperation and Thematic programmes are other funding channels designed as part of the EU s effort to support change in the Neighbourhood Partnership countries.

5 Economy E empower citizens Environment Why Regional Cooperation E encourage cooperation among Eastern Neighbours E finance activities with no frontiers E define common priorities E solve cross border issues E transfer knowledge E harmonise and coordinate activities E support change and modernisation Med Yo Political Dialogue Partnership and Dialogue Regional Cooperation offers a unique opportunity for people from the Partner Countries to sit around the same table and engage in a dialogue, even in difficult times or on sensitive issues, like safeguarding human rights. Through this exchange, people learn to work together, experiences are shared, Investing in People Much of the work done by the projects revolves around training, seminars and workshops that build on people s knowledge and capabilities this ranges from the training of border guards (EU Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine - EUBAM) or journalists (European Neighbourhood Journalism Network) and support to contemporary artists (Eastern Partnership Culture Programme), to strengthening the knowledge of experts in urban development (CIUDAD). Some projects, like Aviation safety and Motorways of the Sea, may mainly involve officials on the government level, but the citizens are the ones who will benefit from their outcomes as they promote security and economic growth. The same concept applies to East-Invest, which promotes investment and supports SMEs. Telecommun partnerships formed, relationships built and networks created. The partners carry Security out common activities, while civil society Civil organisations and stakeholders are often involved, giving them a say.
6 edia Who benefits outh e Regional Cooperation invests in people who come together to share knowledge and experiences, learn through training, create networks and build on best practices. Government officials and bodies, NGOs, municipalities, professionals and hundreds of others who participate in the funded projects benefit directly. But there is a broader long-term impact on the public at large, as citizens are the final beneficiaries of any political, economic and social change brought about through this Partnership. Culture How to get involved About a month before a new call is launched, there is a Forecast so that participants have time to prepare.
