European Transition Compendium Almost Public

The European Transition Compendium, an initiative launched by the European Commission last year to use NMS transition experiences in European development policy around the world is nearing completion.

The compendium, a first draft of which has been circulated to member states for comments by mid-June, intends to bring together transition experiences in areas as diverse as economic, social and agricultural reforms and to provide lessons learned that should support processes in developing countries. There will be a brainstorming meeting in July to look into exactly how this compendium will be used in practice.

A draft has been circulated among NMS platforms and the CONCORD working group on Enlargement, Pre-Accession and Neighbourhood for comments that could feed into the process, still at this late stage. If you are interested in contributing to work on this compendium, please contact TRIALOG’s policy officer Rebecca Steel-Jasińska for more information trialog@concordeurope.org

For more background information on the ETC please see previous TIS articles (European Transition Compendium, or ETC - a call for cooperation).
