The CONCORD working group on enlargement, pre-accession and neighbourhood issues (EPAN) will meet 1-2 October in Valletta, Malta for one of their twice-yearly meetings. The group, convened by TRIALOG, will split the two days into discussions and planning around work on each of the group’s focus points.
The Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum, which EPAN applied to join, will be having its first meeting in Brussels in November so this is the time to prepare for that. Members will continue to discuss a position paper based on the EU’s relationship with Israel and the damaging role this is playing in the faltering Union for the Mediterranean.
The group will plan concrete steps to tie in with work being carried out by the Balkan Civil Society Development Network, for example on the Instrument for Pre-Accession’s Civil Society Facility and agree on ways to promote pre-accession priorities through CONCORD’s planned interaction with the new European Parliament.
The consultant charged by the European Commission with drafting the European Transition Compendium will also visit the group and provide updates on the visits to new member state capitals he has undertaken so far.
Minutes will be available on the CONCORD and TRIALOG websites following the meeting.
