Following the enlargement of the European Union, the EU launched the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and Azerbaijan became part of this policy in 2004. On the basis of a Country Report [202 KB] (published in March 2005) an ENP Action Plan [122 KB] was discussed by the Commission and the Azerbaijani government and finally adopted on November 14, 2006.
The main EU co-operation objectives, policy responses and priority fields can be found in the Country Strategy Paper 2007-2013 [290 KB] . On the basis of bilateral priorities, also a National Indicative Programme (NIP) [100 KB] has been adopted in agreement with the Azerbaijani authorities. The NIP covers the period from 2007-2010. For this period an indicative total sum of €92 million has been allocated; in addition to the ENPI national programme, Azerbaijan will also benefit from the ENPI regional and interregional programmes, plus a number of thematic programmes such as the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights - EIDHR. For the priorities and for a detailed break-down of the actions supported see under the links mentioned above.
