Strengthening the European neighbourhood policy

2007/2088(INI)

SECTORIAL PROGRESS REPORT – IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICY

This Commission working document accompanies the Commission’s communication on strengthening the European Neighbourhood Policy. It deals in particular with progress made in the following areas:

  • transport;
  • energy;
  • the information society;
  • the environment and research.

The detailed work of reform, modernisation and transition, whether in the field of trade, customs or the economic regulatory framework, or in sectors such as transport, energy and the environment, is at the very core of building a modern and well-governed economy. Yet this detailed work is easily lost to sight, by virtue of its often technical character. In addition to the short overview provided in the Overall Assessment , it appears useful to present a more comprehensive view of the range of work carried out in

these different areas by ENP partners during the last eighteen months.
