» College of Europe Natolin Research Papers analyse European Neighbourhood Policy achievements and the challenges ahead
The first semester of 2011 has marked a key turning point for the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). The EU has undertaken a thorough review of the approach, instruments and funding for its cooperation policy with the neighbouring countries to the East and to the South. This review is marked by a stronger emphasis on democratic promotion and a reinforcement of the principles of conditionality and differentiation. The revolts experienced in North African countries in early 2011, with the regime changes in Tunisia and Egypt, civil war in Libya and extended repression in Syria and the pre-emptive reforms launched in Morocco, Jordan and Algeria forced the EU to react.
