Summary: The European Union and Lebanon adopted on 15 November 2016 a set of partnership priorities for a period of four years (2016-2020), as well as a compact. The priorities set up a framework for political engagement and enhanced cooperation. They were agreed in the context of the revised European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). Further information: The negotiations with Lebanon took place as the need to support countries hosting Syrian refugees became ever more apparent. It was thus agreed between the EU and Lebanon that the Partnership Priorities would have as an annex a Compact defining the respective commitments of both sides in facing the impact of the Syrian crisis. These documents are to become the basis for the programming of assistance provided by the European Union. The revised European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) revamped the framework to define bilateral relations with partners, captured in 'Partnership Priorities'. These were also agreed in the context of the Global Strategy for the EU's Foreign and Security Policy. |
