Eu Partnership-Building With Eastern Europe

EDM number 1213 in 2010-12, proposed by Mark Williams on 16/12/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Eastern Europe and EU political integration.

That this House commends Aberystwyth University's Department of International Politics for its project on Europeanising or Securitising the Outsiders? Assessing the EU's partnership-building approach with Eastern Europe led by Dr Elena Korosteleva, which has investigated the effectiveness of the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership Initiative in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova; recognises the importance of building relations between the EU and non-member states; notes the study's findings that the EU had limited understanding of its partners' requirements and that the EU top-down approach circumscribed the input of outside partners, including those that were most enthusiastic towards the EU; and calls on the Government to consider the findings of the project in developing relations between the EU and partner states.
