Press Release: EU Neighbourhood Policy must go back to basics, says EP

The European Parliament approved a resolution on 09 July 2015 regarding the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP).

The text defends a return to the ENP's original aim of creating an area of prosperity, stability and security. The European Union should then come 'back to basics' and place these goals at the top of its agenda.

MEPs stressed that the revised policy must be more political, differentiated and based on EU values and principles, democracy, the rule of law and human rights.

The European Commission launched a consultation on the future of the ENP in March 2015.
