JOINT STAFF WORKING PAPER Implementation of the European Neighbourhood Policy in 2010 Country report: Azerbaijan
25 May 2011
“Azerbaijan and the EU first established contractual relations in 1996 through a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement which entered into force in 1999. On that basis, the EU Azerbaijan European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plan (ENP AP) was approved in November 2006 for a period of five years. In 2010, EU-Azerbaijan meetings took place at the level of the Cooperation Council, the Cooperation Committee and the three subcommittees. The subcommittee on Justice, Freedom and Security and Human Rights and Democracy met for the first time during the year. This document reports on the progress made in implementing the EU-Azerbaijan ENP AP between 1 January and 31 December 2010, although developments outside this reporting period are also taken into consideration when deemed relevant. It is not a general review of the political and economic situation in Azerbaijan. For information on regional and multilateral sector processes, please refer to the sectoral report.”
