/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.
