The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) aims at developing a special relationship between the EU and each of its partner countries, contributing to an area of security, prosperity and good neighbourliness.

2013 has seen some progress towards these objectives. Reform efforts, both in eastern and southern ENP countries, continued and the EU supported these efforts. But it was also, once again, a year of crises, reflecting political instability and continuing difficult socio-economic conditions across a number of countries in the neighbourhood. Security challenges — both domestic and regional — increased and, in some countries, partly reversed democratic reform achievements of previous years and stunted prospects for economic recovery.

This joint communication, accompanied by a set of joint staff working documents [see below], looks at how the EU and partner countries have progressed in implementing jointly agreed reform objectives, and addressed particular challenges facing both sides.
