The European neighbourhood policy (ENP) was developed in 2004 to avoid the emergence of a new division between the enlarged European Union and its neighbours. The aim of the European Union’s activities in the framework of the European neighbourhood policy is to ensure the prosperity, stability and security. The European neighbourhood policy is primarily conducting bilateral activities between the European Union and its partner countries. Within the framework of the European neighbourhood policy work initiative for regional cooperation is the Eastern partnership and the Union for the Mediterranean. The European Neighbourhood Policy of the European Union refers to the ten countries neighbouring the European Union on the eastern and southern shores of the Mediterranean: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia1. The policy consists of bilateral strategies implemented by the EU and individual partner countries. The most important bilateral EU instruments in this region are the Association Agreements, signed with Morocco in 2000, and action plans. They define the reform programmes taking into account the political and economic short- and medium-term priorities for a period of three to five years. During the meeting of the Association of the European Union - Morocco on 13 October 2008, the European Union and the Kingdom of Morocco adopted a joint EU-Morocco document on strengthening bilateral relations / granting a special status. Morocco is one of the most stable EU neighbours to the south. This is the result of many years of pursued policies built on a multi-polar strategy and close relationships with the European Union. With this strategy, Morocco could become a key political and eco-nomic partner of the EU in North Africa. Morocco is seen as a more stable and democratic country than other North African countries.
Polityka zagraniczna stanowi podstawowy instrument realizacji zarówno interesów państw, jak i organizacji międzynarodowych. Unia Europejska, jako twór składający się z dwudziestu siedmiu państw leżących na być może najważniejszym kontynencie świata, musi odgrywać coraz większą rolę w obliczu dominacji potęgi Stanów Zjednoczonych i rodzącej się potęgi państw Dalekiego Wschodu — Chin i Indii. Stworzenie monolitu z odrębnych polityk zagranicznych państw członkowskich wydaje się być nie lada wyzwaniem w sytuacji wciąż trwającej transformacji organizacyjnej Unii Europejskiej. Polityka zagraniczna wobec najbliższych sąsiadów wydaje się być rzeczą kluczową dla funkcjonowania bytu, jakim jest Unia Europejska. Fakt okresowego poszerzania UE oraz olbrzymi jej obszar powoduje, że polityka wobec sąsiadów musi być niezwykle elastyczna, dostosowana indywidualnie do określonej grupy partnerów, z jednoczesnym uwzględnieniem interesów Unii.

The European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) was developed in 2004, with the objective of avoiding the emergence of new dividing lines between the enlarged EU and our neighbors and strengthening the prosperity, stability and security of all. In order to realize the vision of building an increasingly closer relationship with our neighbors, and a zone of stability, security and prosperity for all, the EU and each ENP partner reach agreement on reform objectives across a wide range of fields within certain ‘common’ areas such as cooperation on political and security issues, to economic and trade matters, mobility, environment, integration of transport and energy networks or scientific and cultural cooperation. The EU provides financial and technical assistance to support the implementation of these objectives, in support of partners’ own efforts. During the Barcelona Conference in November 1995, the foreign ministers of the 15 member states and the 12 TCMs, from then on ‘partners’ (Maghreb and Mashrek countries including the Palestinian Authority as well as Israel, Turkey, Malta and Cyprus) officially approved the principle of the creation of a Euro-Mediterranean free-trade economic zone. This article shows how this cooperation is connected with The European Neighborhood Policy.
