Eastern Partnership
The Eastern Partnership (EaP) is the external policy of the European Union, implemented within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy, addressed to six countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
The main initiators of the creation of the EaP as a structured policy that would support regional cooperation and serve to strengthen the EU’s relations with its Eastern European partners were Poland and Sweden. The initiative presented during the European Council summit in June 2008 was supported by the European Commission and the EU Member States. The programme was officially launched on 7 May 2009 in Prague at the summit of the heads of state and government of the EU and the partner countries. 2024 will therefore mark 15 years since the inauguration of the EaP, which today faces new challenges, primarily as a result of the ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine. Another new factor is the increasing differentiation of the “6” countries in terms of their progress in the EU accession process. The greatest progress on this path was recorded by Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. The decisions of the European Council in December 2023 to open accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova and to grant candidate status to Georgia were also possible thanks to the involvement of these countries in the work of the EaP. Poland intends to use the period of its presidency of the EU Council (first half of 2025) to stimulate discussion on the future of the EaP and to better define its role in the new geopolitical situation. We pay special attention to the development of civil society and dialogue with non-governmental organizations.
EaP pillars
Strengthening state institutions and good governance
The main goal of this pillar is to improve the quality of state institutions by supporting reforms in public administration, the civil service and the judiciary, and fighting corruption. An important part is cooperation in the field of the Common Security and Defense Policy.
Economic development – using market opportunities
The implementation of the above pillar aims to ensure macroeconomic stability in the region by supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, equalizing opportunities on the labor market and development differences between regions, and developing the digital market. The main tool is the agreements on a deep and comprehensive free trade area signed with Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, the implementation of which is one of the most important tasks facing the partner countries.
Expansion of connections (connectivity), energy and environmental issues
Connectivity includes the expansion of both “hard” connections (transport, energy, digital, interpersonal) and “soft” connections (standards, good practices, etc.). This is to lead to a permanent legal and infrastructural link between the EU and the EaP countries, which will result in closer cooperation at the social, economic and political levels.
Improving mobility and interpersonal contacts
Visa facilitation, as well as strengthening the communication infrastructure (digitalization, abolition of roaming, construction of connections) is ultimately intended to increase the number of visits by citizens of the eastern neighborhood to the Union, and thus direct contact with its residents. Strengthening youth exchange programs additionally has a positive impact on the development of interpersonal relations.
