EPAN submission to EC consultation on IPA

Enlargement, Pre-Accession and Neighbourhood (EPAN) working group of CONCORD contribuetd to the consultation on the of shape of EU’s Instruments for Pre-Accession (IPA) after 2013. The responses to the survey underline the need to revise the not only financial instruments but overall policies towards pre-accesion countries in order to ensure development and accession processes which take into account civil society participation, sustainability and poverty reduction. As a group, EPAN is calling for general consistence and coherence of main policy lines in the framework of Pre-Accession, for example decentralisation of the management of EU assistance should go in line with creation of instruments allowing participatory decision making process. The whole submission is available at the TRAILOG website in the EPAN submenu or here.
