Abstract

The European Union has a vital interest in stability, better governance and economic development along its southern and eastern borders. At the same time, the concept of a European Neighbourhood Policy arose out of the need for the EU to manage the aspirations of the neighbouring countries after the 2004 enlargement. The basis for it was formulated in a Commission concept paper: “Wider Europe— Neighbourhood”, published in March 2003 and followed by the EU Council’s conclusion. In a revised concept paper of May 2004, the Commission finalized the process of conceptualizing the new EU policy and introduced for it the new name of European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). However, the roots of the ENP go back the 1960s, as the newly formed Common Market built relations with its southern periphery, the countries of the southern and eastern Mediterranean.
