ENP meant for creation of developed, sustainable and secure economic area

PanARMENIAN.Net - The European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) is targeted at developed, sustainable and secure economic area, said deputy chair of EC directorate for foreign affairs.



"Presently, the European Union faces new challenges of East and West. It works with the countries engaged in the ENP and divides them into regions. Eastern Europe includes Ukraine and Moldova. Morocco, Tunisia, Israel, Palestine and Jordan are Mediterranean states. The South Caucasus countries are viewed together with Lebanon due to commonness of the problems," Mr Hugues Mingarelli said.



He pointed out to necessity of creation of an EU unified energy and transport system as well as connection of old and new gas pipelines. "We stand for establishment of dialog between the countries and political forces. The visa system should be simplified; exchange programs for students and journalists should be developed. At that, I should mention that the ENP doesn't suppose accession of the participant states to the Union," the EU official said.
