Preview feature on a new European Commission Communication on 'Strengthening the European Neighbourhood Policy', expected to be adopted on the 29 November 2006.
With the European Neighbourhood Policy set to be one of the key priorities for the German Presidency, January-June 2007, the Commission will set out some fresh and very concrete ideas to develop this policy further.
There are new proposals on how the policy can offer more to ENP partners who are willing to reform to do this faster and better, as well as providing greater incentives for those who are still hesitant. The proposals build on the existing policy but add new elements to increase its impact.
The first eighteen months of the ENP have laid the groundwork for a substantial enhancement in relations between the Union and its neighbours, as progress reports on the first Action Plans (Israel, Jordan, Moldova, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority,Tunisia and Ukraine) will demonstrate. These reports will help to focus future efforts in implementing the joint Action Plans where further work is most needed.
