The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), launched in 2004 and revised in December 2015, is a fundamental element of the European Union’s (EU’s) foreign and security policy, which aims to support and strengthen stability, security and prosperity in countries close to its borders. In this context, cooperation and partnerships with the six Eastern Partnership (EaP) neighbours, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, are implemented with the aim of strengthening political association and economic integration, based on shared interests and common values: democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and social cohesion.
