On May 2009 the European Union (EU) launched the Eastern Partnership (EaP) – a new form of cooperation with six Eastern European countries – Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. The EU’s initiative aims to promote democracy and good governance, socio-economic development, sectoral reforms, environmental protection, strengthen energy sector and encourage people-to-people contacts.
The EaP fosters integration of the six Eastern Partnership countries with the European Union. The EaP activities are focused on multilateral (EU – the six partner countries) and bilateral relationships (EU and its partner country). The EaP covers five thematic platforms and several flagship initiatives.
In the Communication dated December 3 2008 (COM (2008) 823) the European Commission emphasized the significance of active engagement of civil societies in the EaP.
