The next Enlargement, Pre-Accession and Neighbourhood (EPAN) working group meeting will be held in the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, on 14 and 15 October 2008.
The agenda covers the wide range of issues the group is currently working on. The case studies looking at ENP (European Neighbourhood Policy) and ENPI (European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument) implementation in two neighbourhood countries, Egypt and Ukraine, are almost complete; the lobbying work with the EC to improve Civil Society Organisations (CSO) access to IPA funds is gearing up, and a host of other work is being coordinated, such as lobbying on unfair EC regulations restricting Belarusian CSO access to EC funds; preparing for the European elections next year and contributing to CONCORD’s strategic planning for the upcoming years.
Representatives from Old EU Member States (OMS), New Member States (NMS) and Candidates Countries (CC) all take part in the working group, which meets twice a year and is convened by TRIALOG. If you are interested in becoming involved in the working group, please contact the TRIALOG Policy Officer in Brussels: Rebecca Steel, trialog@concoreurope.org.
