Objectives

The main objective of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) is the mutual interest of the EU and its neighbours in promoting reform, the rule of law, stable democracies and prosperity – prosperity, security and stability - throughout the neighbourhood of the enlarged European Union. The EU offers its neighbours an intensified political dialogue and deeper economic relationship, based on shared values and common interests in tackling common problems. The ENP is thus a means of working jointly with our neighbours:

• To promote prosperity in our neighbourhood by supporting our neighbours’ economic reform processes and offering significant economic integration, and
• To advance freedom and democracy in our neighbourhood by deepening political cooperation, on the basis of shared values and common interests
• To promote security and stability by working with neighbours to address development, environment, non-proliferation and counter-terrorism issues – in line with the European Security Strategy
