Seminar organised by Notre Europe and the European Stability Initiative on 30 November 2011.
At the Representation of the European Parliament: 5:30pm-7:30pm
288 Boulevard Saint-Germain - 75007 Paris
The EU’s vicinity has often been mentioned as the litmus test for the EU’s foreign affairs capabilities. How is the EU doing two years after the Lisbon Treaty entered into force and following the Arab Spring? What are the Union’s goals in Turkey, the Western Balkans, its East and its South, and are they being reached? Do the foreign policy tools, such as enlargement, the European Neighbourhood Policy, the Union for the Mediterranean and the Eastern Partnership meet the expectations of the neighbouring countries?
These questions was discussed by:
Pierre Beckouche, Scientific adviser, Institut de Prospective Economique du Monde méditerranéen (IPEMED)
Michele Comelli, Senior fellow, Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI)
Gerald Knaus, President, European Stability Initiative (ESI)
Terkel Petersen, Desk Officer, European External Action Service (EEAS)
Nicu Popescu, Senior Research Fellow, European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR)
Moderation: Sami Andoura, Senior Research Fellow, Notre Europe.
Conference language: English.
This event was co-funded by the European Union.
