Chairman's Welcome

Dear Users,
We are delighted that you have decided to visit the EPP-ED Group internet site, dedicated to the European Neighbourhood Policy. We strongly support the European Commission's policy whose objectives are to share the benefits of the EU’s 2004 enlargement with neighbouring countries and strengthen stability, security and well-being for all concerned.
While browsing our site you will discover lots of information on the countries of these regions. In addition, you will find official documents related to all EU activities in each of these countries. With a few clicks you could learn more about various political traditions and cultures or the current news via links to many national media.
Our commitment as Christian Democrats in the European Parliament is to work for a privileged relationship with our neighbouring countries built on common values, principally within the fields of the rule of law, good governance, the respect for human rights, including minority rights, and the principles of market economy and sustainable development. 

Joseph DAUL 
Chairman of the EPP-ED Group
