What kind of future for the European neighbourhood policy (ENP)? The view from the EU and the neighbouring countries
Practical information
The ENP review launched in July 2010 is almost complete. This work was accomplished in a very difficult time, with the launch of the EEAS and the crises in the neighbourhood (the revolution in Tunisia, Egypt and the civil war in Libya, the clampdowns in Belarus) to which the EU is not always prepared to respond in an appropriate way.
Undoubtedly, the above processes and events trigger extensive reflections over the ENP: What has been achieved under this policy so far? What are the chances for the implementation of its main goals in the future? What should the EU"s relations with its neighbours be like over the next 10-15 years?
What role could the EEAS play in the neighbourhood policy? With this conference, we will try to answer these questions both from the perspective of the EU and of the partner states.
Sessions :

- II. Migration: challenge and opportunities - How to build a smart migration framework?
