Since its launch in 2004, the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) has been a crucial aspect of the EU’s foreign policy. It addresses issues of strategic importance, such as security, stability, justice, freedom and prosperity in our Neighbourhood, by aiming to foster sustainable and resilient economies and free and inclusive societies. It is a policy of long-term engagement, based on mutually beneficial integration and cooperation.
However, in the light of the multiple crises and growing challenges in the neighbourhood, awareness of the need to adapt the ENP and its approach has grown. There have been calls for a major overhaul of the ENP’s toolbox, to enable the EU to respond better to partners' differing aspirations, and more quickly to a fast-changing neighbourhood and broader global trends.
This Joint Communication and the accompanying progress reports [see below] examine how the EU and partner countries have implemented jointly agreed reform objectives and addressed particular challenges in 2014.
In recognition of the changing situation in the Neighbourhood, partners’ differing aspirations for their relations with the EU under the ENP, and the difficulty for the ENP to respond to some of these changes, a Joint Consultation Paper was adopted by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission on 4 March 2015, launching a formal consultation process for the review of the ENP. The character of the EU's annual reporting forms will be examined as part of that review.
