Following the enlargement of the European Union, the EU launched the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and Armenia became part of this policy in 2004. On the basis of a Country Report [140 KB] ( published in March 2005) an ENP Action Plan [102 KB] was discussed by the Commission and the Armenian government and finally adopted on November 14, 2006.
The main EU co-operation objectives, policy responses and priority fields can be found in the Country Strategy Paper 2007-2013 [262 KB] . On the basis of bilateral priorities, also a National Indicative Programme (NIP) [79 KB] has been adopted in agreement with the Armenian authorities. The NIP covers the period from 2007-2010. For this period an indicative total sum of €98,4 million has been allocated; in addition to the ENPI national programme, Armenia will also benefit from the ENPI regional and interregional programmes, plus a number of thematic programmes such as the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights - EIDHR.
