Post by: Shammu on September 03, 2007, 09:15:22 PM
EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICY CONFERENCE

3 SEPTEMBER 2007, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM

The European Neighbourhood Policy is a partnership between the EU and its neighbours in support of our partners’ reform processes. This Conference provides a first opportunity for governmental and non-governmental actors, from both partner countries and EU Member States, to exchange views and ideas on how the policy can be further strengthened or how it could better respond to their needs. Discussion in the morning Ministerial-level session will focus on issues where cooperation can be accelerated.  In the afternoon, debates will also be opened to non-governmental stakeholders from civil society, business groupings and academics. 

For security reasons, participation in this event is by invitation only.

Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner said: “This is a partnership of equals and it is essential that we listen carefully to the interests of our neighbours… We would like to hear our neighbours’ views onwhere they would like to see the greatest emphasis in our relations, where they see their interests reflected, and where, perhaps, they still feel that there are gaps to be filled… This conference will underline the EU's determination to develop individual and differentiated partnership that reflects the interest of each neighbour.”
